Global reporting on HIV, Hepatitis, and STIs

In 2022, the World Health Assembly noted with appreciation the Global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for the period 2022–2030 and requested a mid-term review of the strategies in 2026.

To support the preparation of the mid-term review, the Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programmes (HHS) is planning to conduct 3 disease specific surveys. The data collected from these surveys will also be used in global and regional reports and incorporated into dashboards.

The 3 HHS surveys have been designed to complement other data collection efforts including the Global AIDS monitoring system (GAM), and to reflect the needs of the three disease areas. The surveys focus on:

HIV: data collection on policies and systems for country case surveillance and program disruptions;
Hepatitis: collection of country data, validation of country estimates on burden and cascade of care as well as collection of information on national policies; and
STIs: collection of data on STI surveillance systems and reporting practices, case reports, and national policies for STIs.
