  14. Summary of the epidemic in ESA Remarkable progress has been made in the region • Significant increase in ART and PMTCT coverage • Significant decline in AIDS deaths and in TB/HIV deaths • Important declines in new adult and child HIV infections • Funding support for the HIV response has been extraordinary and has enabled countries to significantly expand their responses • Increased focus on improving effectiveness and efficiency of the response

  15. Population groups left behind

  16. 12 population groups left behind • Adolescent girls • Prison populations • Immigrants • People who inject drugs • Older people who are HIV+ • Older people who do not think they are at risk • Sex workers • Transgender women • Children left behind on treatment • Women of reproductive age • HIV+ displaced persons • People with disabilities

  19. New targets post 2015

  20. Why new targets are needed New targets are needed for four reasons: 1) Targets drive progress 2) New scientific evidence has emerged  3) New targets are needed to guide action 4) Bold new targets to end the epidemic demonstrates that AIDS is a winnable fight

  21. HIV Treatment access gap

  22. Ending AIDS, leaving no one behind • Too many people are left behind today – a challenge • 12 populations left behind by AIDS response (Sex workers, men who have sex with men; bisexual, transgender and intersex people; prisoners; people who inject drugs; migrant workers, people with disabilities; and women and girls) • Need to address stigma and discrimination • Close the gap between people who are reached with HIV services and people who are not • Require research and innovation combined with protective laws
