HIV Programmatic Achievements against Targets in 2012

The cumulative results in each period during Year 2 are shown as a percentage of the annual target. Sex Workers, MSM and IDUs reached are funded by the Global Fund only, while the others are funded by "GFATM and other donors"

The HIV grant has shown significant progress in implementation with six out of nine reportable Indicators achieving more than 100 per cent of the annual target at the end of Phase I. HIV treatment scale- up and the accelerated enrolment of patients by SRs have resulted in an impressive increase in the number of people on ART (19,053 patients) reaching 96 per cent of the planned target at the end of Phase I. Similarly, the PMTCT programme has seen a significant increase in coverage.

The number of women undergoing HIV testing and receiving ARV prophylaxis gained significant momentum due to the successful completion of trainings in new townships, while in existing townships momentum was sustained through refresher trainings, along with continued advocacy and community mobilization.

In total, 116,188 women underwent HIV testing and knew their results (150 % of target), while 1,186 women received ARV (117 %). Due to the continuing and accelerated efforts of SRs, 5,225 sex workers (151% of target), 1,052 (100 %) MSM and 1,822 (107 %) IDUs were reached with HIV prevention activities including peer education trainings, peer group discussion and community outreach activities. Most-at-risk-populations received more than 3.6 million (82%) condoms free of charge during this period.
