This guidance document provides standardized processes and consensus-developed criteria to validate EMTCT of HIV and syphilis, and to recognize high-HIV burden countries that have made significant progress on the path to elimination. The guidance places strong emphasis on country-led accountability, rigorous analysis, intensive programme assessment and multilevel collaboration, including the involvement of communities of women living with HIV. It provides guidance to evaluate the country’s EMTCT programme, the quality and accuracy of its laboratory and data collection mechanisms, as well as its efforts to uphold human rights and equality of women living with HIV, and their involvement in decision-making processes.

AGYW Resource Guide for strengthening national responses to the crisis of HIV amoung young women and girls.

This regional report aims to strengthen risk-informed programming and facilitate scale up of simple and effective tools to identify and reach those adolescent girls and young women who are most in need of services and support. All the available tools included in the review are linked in the annexes and included in UNICEF's AGYW Programming and Implementation Repository. 

In the global quest to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030, meeting the HIV-related needs of children, adolescents and pregnant and breastfeeding women represents a critical piece of unfinished business. To inject a sense of urgency in to global efforts to end the epidemic among children, adolescents and young women, global partners joined together in 2015 to launch the Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free framework. Unveiled as the global community was embracing a series of 2020 targets intended to Fast-Track the HIV response, Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free called for a super-Fast-Track approach to end AIDS as a public health threat among children, adolescents and young women by 2020.

Since the deadline for achieving the targets passed in December 2020, this is the final Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free progress report. Although the targets were global, partners identified 23 countries for intensified focus under the framework. This report specifically highlights progress against the targets in focus countries. The only focus countries outside sub-Saharan Africa (India and Indonesia) do not report data on Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free targets and are not covered in this report.

En tant que parents et soignants nous voulons prendre soin de nos enfants du mieux que nous pouvons - cela inclut le fait de les protéger contre le VIH. Voici ce que vous devez savoir.

Cette fiche d’information a été conçue pour vous fournir les informations nécessaires pour promouvoir le diagnostic précoce des nourrissons (EID) au sein de votre communauté et pour encourager les personnes à faire faire le test du VIH à leurs nourrissons. Elle explique également comment la nouvelle technologie des points de services (POC) permet une production plus rapide des résultats de test. Il est important que nous puissions sensibiliser les personnes aux services d’EID, accroître l’utilisation des tests et plaider auprès des décideurs et des responsables de mise en œuvre de programmes pour une plus large disponibilité du POC EID.
