3 Key Challenges1. Dysfunctional health systems

– Failing to convert efficacious treatment & prevention interventions fully for maximum effectiveness

2. Most new HIV infections now occur in Key Populations – the highest prevention priority– Young women in Africa– Sex Workers– MSM & Transgender individuals– IDU

3. Stigma, discrimination & legislative hurdles– Major obstacle to prevention & care

34 years on: AIDS is still far from over

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 elimination and eradication not 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– Point where HIV no longer represents a public health threat and no longer among the leading causes of country’s disease burden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

Status quo

+ 100% ART at CD4 200

+ Circumcision

+ Early ART

+ PrEP

Is HIV epidemic control achievable?Without a vaccine or cure?

Yes, HIV epidemic control is achievable!However, a vaccine or cure is essential for elimination

37-40% reduction between 2009 & 2012 Only slightly off-track for 2015 target

There is already a Global Planfor the elimination of new HIV infections

in children by 2015 !

Next: Epidemic control in all age groups

Know your local epidemic! Know your Hotspots & Key Populations

What will it take to reach epidemic control?

Page 44: Www.aids2014.org State of the Art: Epidemiology and Access Salim S. Abdool Karim Director: CAPRISA Chair: UNAIDS Scientific Expert Panel Pro Vice-Chancellor

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
