• Description:
  Preliminary Findings December 2018
  
  The Lesotho Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (LePHIA), a household-based national survey, was conducted between November 2016 and May 2017 in order to measure the status of Lesotho’s national HIV response. LePHIA offered HIV counseling and testing with return of results, and collected information about uptake of HIV care and treatment services. This survey was designed to measure HIV incidence, prevalence, and viral load suppression (VLS) in the population 15 to 59 years of age and prevalence in the population 0 to 14 years of age. The results provide information on national and subnational progress toward control of the HIV epidemic. LePHIA was led by the Government of Lesotho through the Ministry of Health, conducted with funding from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and technical assistance through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The survey was implemented by ICAP at Columbia University in collaboration with the Lesotho Bureau of Statistics.
  
  The PHIA Project is a multi-country project funded by PEPFAR to conduct national HIV-focused surveys that describe the status of the HIV epidemic. Results will measure important national and regional HIV-related parameters, including progress toward 90-90-90 goals, and will guide policy and funding priorities. ICAP at Columbia University is implementing the PHIA Project in close collaboration with CDC and other partners.
