HIV - Technical work
The WHO Department leads the global effort to end the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ensuring that every person has equitable access to highest-quality people-centred scientific evidence and services, regardless of who they are or where they live.
Strategic Information
Data helps to focus and guide public health interventions, both globally and in countries, to improve the delivery of health services to all people. The WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections (HHS) programme focuses on people-centred data to improve prevention, testing and treatment services.
WHO provides global reports; collects and validates data with partners through the Global AIDS Monitoring mechanism; and develops guidelines for strategic information, case surveillance, patient monitoring, digital health and data use. The strategic information team works with regions and countries to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems, which are a key building block in country health systems.
