34 years on: AIDS is still far from over 3 Key Challenges • Dysfunctional health systems • Failing to convert efficacious treatment & prevention interventions fully for maximum effectiveness • Most new HIV infections now occur in Key Populations – the highest prevention priority • Young women in Africa • Sex Workers • MSM & Transgender individuals • IDU • Stigma, discrimination & legislative hurdles • Major obstacle to prevention & care

Overview • In the beginning… the first 25 years of HIV/AIDS • A changing HIV/AIDS epidemic: Recent trends • Two key factors impacting HIV epidemiology: • Series of new HIV prevention research results • Growth in resources for scale-up of treatment and prevention • Ongoing challenges • Envisioning a future… The End of AIDS as a public health threat • Conclusion
Choosing a future… The End of AIDS • “The End of AIDS” is an aspirational vision • Epidemiological concepts of eliminationand eradicationnot readily applicable to AIDS as millions are living with HIV and no cure available • Key step to “The End of AIDS” is epidemic control • Epidemic control - Reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity or mortality to a locally acceptable level as a result of deliberate intervention measures • Point where HIV no longer represents a public health threat and no longer among the leading causes of country’s disease burden • Mathematically defined as the point at which the reproductive rate of infection (R0) is below 1
Is HIV epidemic control achievable?Without a vaccine or cure? Status quo + 100% ART at CD4 200 + Circumcision + Early ART + PrEP Yes, HIV epidemic control is achievable! However, a vaccine or cure is essential for elimination Source: Cremin I. et al. AIDS 2013
There is already a Global Planfor the elimination of new HIV infectionsin children by 2015 ! 37-40% reduction between 2009 & 2012 Only slightly off-track for 2015 target Next: Epidemic control in all age groups Source: Kiragu K. UNAIDS 2013
What will it take to reach epidemic control? Know your local epidemic! Know your Hotspots & Key Populations http://aidsvu.org/treatment-sites-or-care-services/hiv-testing-site-locator/
What will it take to reach the ambitious target of epidemic control? • Act on knowledge of detailed local epidemiology • Build on successes ….learn from failures ….implement to scale • As the HIV epidemic changes – so too should our programs & interventions. Adapt with the changes! • Target hotspots, pockets and key populations that continue to sustain high HIV incidence – will need combinations of appropriate prevention strategies • Deal with underlying drivers such as legal barriers, stigma & social norms simultaneously • Continued funding & greater program efficiency • Biomedical, socio-behavioural and implementation science, incl. new innovations – vaccine and cure
Conclusion • Impressive progress in scientific discovery, resource mobilisation, political commitment & implementation: • created a favourable HIV trajectory in the last decade • Now is the time for stepping up the pace • Focused effort on Key Populations needed, esp. the largest high-risk group - young women in Africa • The world cannot afford to miss this historic “tipping” point & risk losing momentum against AIDS • There are many challenges but it should not deter us! • We won’t end AIDS tomorrow…. …. but it has to be part of our long-term vision
