Viet Nam AIDS Response Progress Report 2014

The Global AIDS Progress Report for Viet Nam is written every two years to monitor the progress towards achieving the targets set in the Political Declaration on HIV AIDS, following the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS in New York in June 2011. The report recognizes the significant achievements and efforts made by Viet Nam in 2012 and 2013 in increasing access to and improving the quality of HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services.

A second round of estimates and projections was conducted in 2007 to estimate future burden and impacts of HIV/AIDS in order to inform national programs anticipating prevention and care needs in Viet Nam. Similar to the 2003 estimates and projections process, seroprevalence data, population size estimates, and pertinent data from ad hoc studies were entered into the Estimation and Projection Package (EPP) Version 3.0 R9 to generate low, medium, and high scenarios of the HIV epidemic. The epidemic curves generated by EPP were then combined with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and prevention of mother to child (PMTCT) data into a second modeling program, SPECTRUM Version 3.14, for further estimates of prevalence, treatment needs, and AIDS related mortality, among other important data presented in this report. National and region-specific outcomes were generated for the 1990-2012 period in Viet Nam and apply to both the general and high risk populations nationwide.
