Global HIV Programme
The WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections Programmes leads the development and implementation of the global health sector strategy on the elimination of HIV as a public health threat.

Data and maps

WHO promotes the dissemination and sharing of health data, including surveillance and epidemiological data. WHO also produces a regular global report on HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) threats, prevalence and trends, which is based on information shared by countries. 

Countries are encouraged to ensure prompt interpretation and dissemination of HIVDR data at a national level and to WHO for timely public health assessment. This informs national and global policies, allows a coordinated response to be implemented, and helps advocate for action on HIVDR prevention and response.
