11. Ambitious, but achievable, new targets

12. By 2020…
90%
of all people
living with HIV
will know their
HIV status
90%
of all people
diagnosed with
HIV will receive
sustained
antiretroviral
therapy.
90%
of all people
receiving
antiretroviral
therapy will
have durable
suppression.

13. The objective
“Maximize the effectiveness of existing
tools to virtually eliminate progression
to AIDS, premature death and HIV
transmission, and thereby transform
the HIV pandemic into a low level
sporadic endemic.”

14. The result
three-fold increase
over current estimates
72%of all people living with HIV
will be virally suppressed

17. Key achievements - Malaysia
 Prevention of vertical transmission of HIV – Option B+ provided for
all HIV infected mothers including both documented and
undocumented migrants since 2011 – overall 86% (62%->95%)
PMTCT coverage in 2013
 Treatment - Scaling up ART coverage (over 7000 people initiated ART
in the past year) including the availability of ART for prisoners and
closed settings
 Community based HIV testing – Partnering with NGOs and CBOs,
community based HIV testing is initiated in MSM community in
Penang and Kuala Lumpur
 Harm reduction programmes - Significant success in Needles and
Syringes Exchange Programme (NSEP), and the Opiate Substitution
Therapy (OST) programme expanded to 18 prisons by 2013

20. Post 2015 Agenda

21. Key processes feeding into the post -2015
development agenda
Source: IPPF. (2014). Post-2015 made simple – Shaping the future of sexual and reproductive health rights

22. Positioning AIDS in the post-2015
development agenda
 AIDS in the post-2015 development agenda
 Political commitment for ending AIDS
 Progress towards ending the AIDS epidemic will spur progress on a
range of development, gender equality and human rights challenges
 AIDS under the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) for health
 Situating “ending AIDS” as critical to advancing global
health in the post-2015 development agenda
 Ensure that the health goal continues to include targets on ending
the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030

23. Positioning AIDS in the post-2015
development agenda
 Human rights
 Ending AIDS: A beneficiary of and catalyst for human
rights
 Support elimination of discriminatory laws, policies and practices
 Key populations in the AIDS response
 Leaving no one behind is critical to ending AIDS by 2030
 Promote strategic investment in HIV programming for those most
affected by HIV, including key populations
 Gender, sexual and reproductive health, and
rights
 Ending AIDS can be a catalyst for gender-transformative
action which puts people at the centre of development
 Call for gender equality and the full realization of women’s rights
