27、se successes,some gaps in treatment remain,including slower scale-up of fixed-dose-combination(FDC)darunavir/ritonavir(DRV/r)in second-line treatment and retention of PLHIV in care.As the number of people on treatment increases and prices reduce,the ARV market in GA LMICs remains robust with an esti

31、the regions most impacted by the epidemic,child mortality tripled and life expectancy dropped 20 years.ii Since 2003,innovative partnerships between governments,PEPFAR,the Global Fund,and other global partners have significantly improved access to HIV services across the cascade of care Figure 1.Thi

36、and sustainable funding,among others.2023 HIV MARKET REPORT7diagnosis(EID)testing.While HIV self-tests(HIVSTs)are now available at just US$1 each,uptake to date has been limited but is growing.ix While progress expanding HIV treatmentalongside more modest primary prevention effortshas contributed to
37、 reductions in HIV transmission,persistently high new HIV infection rates reinforce that treatment alone is insufficient to reach and maintain epidemic control.Global efforts increasingly prioritize effective combination prevention packages that include both socio-behavioral interventions,as well as
38、 highly effective biomedical interventions.In 2022,over 2.5 million individuals globally received oral pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP).i New options like injectable long-acting cabotegravir(CAB-LA)and future pipeline products have the potential to accelerate reductions in new HIV infections.However,t
39、he transformational potential of available long-acting products is currently limited by high costs and low production capacity.Targeted donor investment to accelerate generic development of promising long-acting PrEP products is crucial for achieving impact at scale.In the past 20 years,AIDS-related
40、 deaths have decreased by almost 70 percent,resulting in an estimated 20.8 million deaths averted.However,there were still 630,000 AIDS-related deaths in 2022 with tuberculosis(TB),cryptococcal meningitis(CM),and bacterial infections remaining the major causes of death among adults,and pneumonia,TB,
41、bacterial infections,diarrheal diseases,and severe acute malnutrition among the major causes of mortality for children.x,xi More work needs to be done to reduce the number of people presenting to care with advanced HIV disease(AHD),identify AHD sooner,and link individuals to treatment and prevention
42、 for opportunistic infections(OIs).For children living with HIV(CLHIV),urgent action is needed to further reduce AIDS-related mortality and morbidity.In 2022,CLHIV accounted for 13 percent of AIDS-related deaths,despite comprising only four percent of PLHIV.x Management of AHD in children is challen
43、ging.At least 30 percent of CLHIV present with severe immunosuppression at HIV diagnosis,and those who are hospitalized when they initiate ART have high mortality.xi A large portion of CLHIV are not on ART at all.In 2022,only 57 percent of CLHIV were on treatment compared to 77 percent of adults,an
44、unacceptable disparity Figure 2.Year-over-year,the gap between HIV treatment coverage for children and adults continues to grow.Due to these gaps in ART coverage,existing(but decreasing)use of less effective ARVs in pediatric populations,and various other contributing factors,less than half of CLHIV
45、 are virally suppressed,resulting in over 80,000 AIDS-related deaths among CLHIV in 2022.x To reduce these deaths,stepping up efforts to identify and treat pediatric AHD cases is crucial.FIGURE 2:HIV CASCADE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN LIVING WITH HIV,GLOBAL,2022XThese differences are even more pronounc

50、programs in 2022 compared to 2021,the third consecutive year of decreases.x Factors such as stigma,discrimination,and social barriers can also hinder the effective allocation and utilization of funds.Key populations(KPs)remain one of the most underfunded areas in the HIV response,with a 90 percent f
51、unding gap for prevention programs estimated in 2022 compared to what is needed to reach 2025 targets in LMICs.xv,x Without urgent and collaborative action to ensure adequate and sustainable funding,the HIV epidemic will continue to have health,social,and economic costs disproportionally impacting k
52、ey and priority populations,thereby deepening inequality.Crucial to these efforts will be continued support for ending HIV via the Global Fund and PEPFAR,among others.Ensuring a sustainable HIV response will require a range of strategies to enhance financing for the health sector as a whole and maxi
53、mize the use of existing resources and partnerships.Overcoming political and social barriers remains critical to sustaining and expanding the HIV response,especially among key populations Stigma,discrimination,and criminalization of key populations are also significant barriers to achieving the goal
54、s of the HIV response.As a result,key Ongoing funding and resource mobilization threats could hamper continued progress toward epidemic controlInternational and domestic funding has been crucial to the success of the HIV response over the past 20 years.However,recent funding threats and reductions i
55、n HIV investments put these hard-won gains at risk.For example,the PEPFAR program represents the largest investment by a country toward a single disease area,contributing over US$110 billion to end HIV while simultaneously strengthening global health and economic security in 50 countries over the pa
56、st 20 years.ii In Sep.2023,the program was due for its fourth five-year reauthorization.However,politicization has put the traditionally bipartisan program in peril and reauthorization is not certain.A failure to reauthorize PEPFAR risks lives and the forward momentum needed to address remaining gap
57、s and eliminate HIV as a public health threat.xii Looking across all funding for HIV programs in LMICs,in 2022,a total of US$20.8 billion was provided representing a 2.6 percent decrease from 2021s funding envelope.This continues a years-long pattern of stagnant and decreasing funding Figure 4.x Int

62、igeria,Somalia,and Uganda Figure 5.xvi In countries where these relationships remain criminalized,a study in SSA found HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men was five times higher.xvii While some countries are exploring decriminalization,others such as Ghana,Iraq,Kenya,and Tanzania are pursu
63、ing harsher penalties,with Uganda recently passing a sweeping anti-lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,queer or questioning(LGTBQ)law.xvi FIGURE 5:CRIMINALIZATION OF SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS BY REGION,2023xviCriminalization of key populations can also negatively impact the ability of governments and part
64、ners to provide necessary HIV services to those in need.In Uganda,PEPFAR reported significant drops in weekly attendance by KPs at drop-in-centers providing HIV treatment and prevention services while the Anti-Homosexuality Act was debated in parliament.This attendance has not recovered in all cente
65、rs despite interventions to improve client access.xviii Rising rates of new infections in some regions such as Asia and the Pacific and the Middle East and North Africa,primarily driven by infections among KPs and their partners,further point to the need for KP-friendly services and enhanced efforts
66、 to reduce stigma and discrimination.x Global partners are doubling down on their commitments to priority populations,as outlined in PEPFARs new five-year strategy.Released in 2022,the strategy aims to end HIV as a public health threat by 2030 while prioritizing evidence-based interventions,improvin
67、g health equity,and sustainably strengthening public health systems Figure 6.ii However,the ability to implement this strategy precariously hinges on congressional approval of the next five-year reauthorization of PEPFAR,threatening progress and putting lives at risk.FIGURE 6:PILLARS OF PEPFARS NEW

70、on-communicable diseases(NCDs)is often inaccessible.NCDs can complicate HIV treatment and increase morbidity and mortality in PLHIV.Deaths among PLHIV due to causes other than AHD doubled from 14 percent in 2010 to 32 percent in 2022.x Recognizing the evolving health needs of PLHIV,in 2023 the World

72、 CLINTON HEALTH ACCESS INITIATIVE10A recently published WHO technical brief recommends integrating psychosocial and HIV services for adolescents and young adults,identifying best practices and strategic actions to support healthy behaviors and bolster mental health.This brief aims to ensure the well
73、being of this important demographic group during a crucial developmental stage in life.xxv However,despite a strong research base of effective,low-cost mental health interventions appropriate for LMIC settings,there are large gaps in translating research into practice.xxvii While it is crucial to ta
74、ckle the substantial comorbidity between HIV and mental health,it is important to pave the way for broader mental health integration to diminish stigma and enhance overall health outcomes beyond PLHIV.Syphilis and hepatitis B remain common co-infections that particularly impact pregnant women and ch
75、ildren.HIV is known to interact with both syphilis and hepatitis B to increase mother-to-child transmission risk,underscoring the need for integrated diagnostics and care for these diseases to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes.This is especially true in SSA,where the burden of these dise
76、ases is the highest.Unequal funding across diseases has impeded efforts to reduce syphilis and hepatitis B infection,with a recent assessment in ten SSA countries showing a gap between HIV and syphilis screening coverage of between five and 52 percent.Newly approved dual HIV/syphilis tests and tripl

79、gnosis,PLHIV are 100 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population.xxii The prevalence of depression in PLHIV in sub-Saharan Africa is estimated at 24 percent,compared with less than three percent for the general population.xxiii Adolescents with HIV are particularly impacted by po
80、or mental health.Globally,there are 3.2 million adolescents and young adults living with HIV between 15 and 24 years of age,and evidence shows that this group has higher rates of mental health challenges than their HIV-negative peers.xxiv Among adolescent key populations,poor mental health is exacer
81、bated by multiple stigmas including their youth,minority group association,and HIV status.xxv Between 2010 and 2020,HIV-associated mortality declined at a slower pace in adolescents than in children,with a 37 percent reduction in mortality among PLHIV 10 to 19 years as compared to 60 percent among t
82、hose aged zero to nine years Figure 7.xxvi This limited progress highlights the need for more support to ensure adequate and holistic care for this population.FIGURE 7:REDUCTIONS IN GLOBAL AIDS-RELATED DEATHS AMONG CHILDREN(0-9 YEARS)AND ADOLESCENTS(10-19 YEARS),2010-2020 xxvi37%CHILDREN0-9 YearsADO

84、parities across populations persist and some regions are seeing an alarming increase in new infections.Increased access to effective primary prevention interventions,particularly among those at highest risk of HIV acquisitionincluding key populations,adolescent girls and young women,and pregnant and
85、 breastfeeding womenwill be essential for reducing HIV incidence.Long-acting cabotegravir and other novel prevention products have the potential to enhance user choice,increase uptake and promote effective use,and significantly reduce new HIV infections.However,access barriers such as affordability
86、and generic production capacity must be addressed to realize transformational impact.Key populations and their partners continue to account for a disproportionate number of new infections,and these populations often lack access to tailored and stigma-free prevention services.Further,discriminatory l
87、aws,violence,and stigma continue to pose barriers.x Ultimately,these disparities in access are human rights issues,and underscore the importance of integrating human-rights-based approaches into the HIV response to achieve meaningful progress in reducing new infections.Despite generic licensing for
88、CAB-LA,major access challenges persist requiring urgent action to accelerate generic developmentIn Dec.2021,the United States Food and Drug Administration(US FDA)approved long-acting cabotegravir,a highly effective injectable PrEP administered every eight weeks,for use in adults and adolescents at r
89、isk of HIV acquisition and weighing at least 35 kg.xxix CAB-LA is the first long-acting injectable HIV prevention product on the market,but LMICs continue to face major access challenges.Following strong community advocacy for rapid,equitable,and affordable access to CAB-LA,ViiV Healthcare signed a
90、voluntary license agreement with the Medicines Patent Pool(MPP)in July 2022.xxx,xxxi Subsequently,in March 2023 ViiV and MPP announced sublicense agreements with Aurobindo,Cipla,and Viatris to manufacture generic CAB-LA for use in 90 countries.xxxii PREVENTIONProgress in HIV prevention is unequal ac
91、ross populations and geographiesIn 2022,there were an estimated 1.3 million new HIV infections globally,the lowest number in the past three decades.However,the global response remains off track from the UNAIDS 2025 target of 370,000 infections.x Further,there are disparities in the distribution of a
92、nd progress in reducing new HIV infections across regions,sub-national geographies,and populations.For example,while SSA saw large reductions in HIV infections between 2010 and 2022,women and girls continue to bear a disproportionate burden of new infections in the region,representing 63 percent of
93、all new HIV infections in 2022.However,less than half of the districts in high HIV incidence areas have HIV prevention programs for adolescent girls and young women(AGYW).Beyond SSA,HIV prevention progress is slower.Several regions,including Asia and the Pacific and Eastern Europe and Central Asia s

97、ls,which demonstrated CAB-LAs statistical superiority over daily oral TDF/FTC for HIV prevention.xxxvii While more research is needed to understand choice and preferences in real-world settings,the open label extensions of both efficacy studies continue to show strong preferences for long-acting inj

107、 could open the window for a future dosing indication that aligns with injectable contraception,reduces delivery costs,and results in fewer clinic visits.xl Analysis of the positive predictive value of single rapid HIV tests in HPTN 084 found higher rates of false positives among CAB-LA users.Howeve
108、r,two rapid HIV tests were sufficient to confirm HIV diagnosis and recommend treatment initiation.Based on these results,HIV programs will need to ensure appropriate testing strategies for CAB-LA,potentially including further testing to confirm diagnosis and additional client counseling where testin
109、g strategies may differ from other PrEP options.xli Notably,a review of the small number of incident HIV infections recorded during the HPTN studies found that the use of CAB-LA for PrEP led to viral suppression and delayed or diminished antibody expression that can persist for months after infectio
110、n,a condition dubbed“long-acting early viral inhibition”(LEVI).As a result,HIV rapid tests and antigen tests fail to detect infection in a timely manner.While the cases were rare,these missed diagnoses have the potential to increase the risk of integrase strand transfer inhibitor(INSTI)resistance.xl
111、ii Ongoing investigations are exploring testing approaches needed in the context of LEVI.The use of RNA testing for HIV screening could help identify and confirm infections earlier in some cases,but would be expensive for prevention programs and would introduce additional complexity for CAB-LA initi
112、ation and continuation,potentially resulting in lower PrEP coverage during periods of elevated risk.xlii Given its proven high efficacy and the potentially limited value of adding RNA screening to testing algorithms,WHO guidelines note that CAB-LA should still be considered for HIV PrEP in settings
113、where HIV RNA screening is not readily available.xliiiAn increasing global focus on user choice drives research and investments in the HIV prevention pipelineSeveral implementation studies are underway to explore real-world delivery and demand generation approaches for PrEP products,including CAB-LA
114、,the dapivirine vaginal ring(DVR),and oral PrEP.The Biomedical Prevention Implementation Collaboratives Integrated Study Dashboard details these implementation studies across geographies,populations,and projects.xxxiv Evidence generated from these studies aims to fill important implementation knowle
115、dge gaps,such as questions about real-world product choice,feasibility across service delivery channels,integration with other services,and the optimal combination of prevention methods and other services for specific populations.The impact of the growing portfolio of prevention products will depend
116、 on their accessibility,affordability,and integration within systems that fully consider the social and political context in which HIV infections take place.A person-centered,choice-based approach will be crucial to ensure efforts are community-led and that prevention strategies better align with th
117、e unique circumstances and lived experiences of at-risk populations.Oral PrEP initiations continue to grow,with new research on effectiveness among cisgender women and opportunities to optimize PrEP deliveryIn 2022,approximately 1.9 million people in LMICs received PrEP.While many prevention program
118、s are now rapidly increasing oral PrEP initiations,PrEP provision in LMICs is still limited to a small number of countries and is heavily concentrated in ESA Figure 10.i While most new HIV infections occurred in ESA in 2022,approximately a quarter occurred in Asia and the Pacific,where there is sign
119、ificantly lower PrEP coverage.National programs in these regions have an opportunity to address this disparity by scaling oral PrEP use among at-risk populations.xFIGURE 10:NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN LMICs WHO RECEIVED ORAL PREP IN 2022i0300K600K900K1.2M1.5MMENAEECAAPLACWCAESA9.58.98.19.39.69.79.8NUMBER OF

121、e and low coverage of male circumcision.xlix However,as ART coverage expands and additional prevention options are made available,there has been renewed interest in evaluating the long-term cost effectiveness of VMMC.Researchers recently modeled scenarios to better understand the impact of changing
122、epidemic conditions,including reductions in HIV incidence,on the cost-effectiveness of VMMC.Across five mathematical models,researchers found VMMC provides cost-savings over 50 years,while also lowering HIV incidence and mortality rates in men aged 15-49 in Malawi,South Africa,and Zimbabwe.l With co
123、ntinued improvements in HIV treatment and prevention,including the introduction of highly effective long-acting PrEP products,further modelling may be needed.Given the widening funding gap in the global HIV response,the development of efficient service delivery and demand generation models,and their
124、 integration within routine health services,will be crucial to minimize the cost of delivering VMMC services and enhance accessibility.Trends in vertical transmission of HIV indicate additional efforts are needed to strengthen existing programs and expand PrEP optionsSince 2015,ART coverage among pr
125、egnant and breastfeeding women has plateaued around 80 percent.In the same period,HIV infections among children aged zero to 14 years has slowed,from 200,000 in 2015 to 130,000 in 2022.This stagnation is particularly acute in certain regions,such as WCA,where vertical transmission programs reached o
126、nly 53 percent of pregnant and breastfeeding women in 2022.Globally,and specifically in WCA,lack of access to ART during pregnancy or breastfeeding was the highest contributor to new HIV infections in children Figure 12.These findings suggest additional effort is needed to identify and link pregnant
127、 and breastfeeding women to treatment,via facility and community-based case finding,and retain them on ART through the end of breastfeeding.x Previous studies have demonstrated that daily oral TDF/FTC is more than 99 percent effective for HIV prevention among men and transgender women who have sex w
128、ith men.However,past findings indicate oral PrEP effectiveness may be lower for cisgender women,potentially due to poorer adherence and/or biological differences.xliv Data from a recent pooled analysis of over 6,000 cisgender women on TDF/FTC supports the real-world effectiveness of oral PrEP in cis
129、gender women with consistent adherence(defined as at least four doses per week),indicating that it may be as high as other populations Figure 11.However,over half of all participants did not use TDF/FTC consistently,highlighting the urgent need for additional prevention options that improve adherenc
130、e,such as long-acting modalities.xlv FIGURE 11:HIV INCIDENCE RATES AMONG WOMEN WITH AVAILABLE ORAL PREP ADHERENCE DATAxlv Additionally,efforts are underway to optimize oral PrEP delivery.In Kenya,researchers found that six-month oral PrEP dispensing and semiannual clinic visits resulted in non-infer
131、ior adherence compared to the standard quarterly dispensing and visit schedule.Additionally,the use of HIV self-tests every three months was non-inferior to clinic-based testing.xlvi This differentiated service delivery model has the potential to optimize oral PrEP delivery and further reduce HIV in

133、ollaborated with the Childrens Investment Fund Foundation(CIFF)to establish a catalytic matching fund of US$33 million to drive the scale-up of PrEP,including introducing novel PrEP options,in Kenya,Mozambique,Nigeria,South Africa,Uganda,and Zambia.xlviii 00.51.01.52.02.53.03.5Consistently LowHigh,b

136、 with the greatest reduction in vertical transmission included maternal support groups(35 percent reduction in infant infections),HIV retesting(6.5 percent reduction in infant infections),and infant prophylaxis(4.5 reduction in infant infections).li Women are at substantially higher risk of acquirin
137、g HIV during pregnancy and the post-partum period,indicating the importance of access to combination prevention.lii Among the limited number of PrEP studies that have included pregnant women,several reinforce the safety of PrEP products for this population and their children.Recent results from a si
138、ngle-site study in South Africa confirm oral PrEP(TDF/FTC)use by pregnant women is not associated with preterm birth or small-for-gestational-age infants.liii An extension study in Kenya also found that children exposed to oral PrEP during pregnancy did not have reduced bone density or stunted growt
139、h as compared to unexposed infants at 36 months.liv These results support existing WHO guidelines encouraging the use of oral PrEP in pregnant and breastfeeding women at increased risk of HIV as part of a combination prevention approach.lv Two phase 3b open-label studies involving the dapivirine vag
140、inal ring,a flexible self-inserted silicone ring for HIV PrEP,reinforced the rings safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding.DELIVER,a randomized safety trial carried out among pregnant women in Malawi,South Africa,Uganda,and Zimbabwe,found the ring was equally safe to use in the third trimester of
141、pregnancy as daily oral TDF/FTC.lvi DELIVERs companion study,B-PROTECTED,revealed women can also safely breastfeed while using the ring.B-PROTECTED found very low levels of dapivirine in participants breast milk and even lower concentrations in infants blood,posing no safety risk.lvii A sub-study of
142、 HPTN 084 will also explore the impact of CAB-LA for PrEP on pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children following an open-label extension amendment removing a requirement for contraception use during the study.lviii Data from close monitoring of women in the blinded phase of trial who becam
143、e pregnant show that residual cabotegravir was well tolerated and may be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.lix In the open-label extension,women will be provided the option of continuing CAB-LA throughout their pregnacy,which will generate further safety data.lviiiWHO guidance emphasizes that
144、women of reproductive potential should not face barriers to effective PrEP options such as CAB-LA.xliii In Kenya and South Africa,oral PrEP-experienced pregnant and postpartum women expressed preference for long-acting injectable PrEP over other modalities,demonstrating potential acceptability among
145、 a priority population.lx Similar findings from an HPTN 084 sub-study also signalled preference for CAB-LA over oral PrEP among women who were pregnant or intended to become pregnant.lxi The above research indicates prenatal and postnatal services may represent appropriate integration opportunities
146、for PrEP services,though additional implementation and safety research is needed.As countries update national guidelines to include CAB-LA and develop introduction plans,it is imperative they are inclusive of women of reproductive potential or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.The HIV preventi

155、onged study that aims to evaluate the efficacy of LEN as well as tenofovir alafenamide fumarate/emtricitabine(TAF/FTC)for HIV PrEP in AGYW at risk of HIV infection.TAF/FTC is an oral PrEP product that is currently only approved for use in men.Initial results from this study are expected in 2024.lxii
156、i The PURPOSE 2 study is evaluating the efficacy of LEN for HIV PrEP in men who have sex with men,with primary results expected in 2025.lxiv Dual Prevention PillThere are several multipurpose prevention technologies(MPTs)under development that combine contraception with HIV PrEP.If successful,such M
157、PTs have the potential to offer benefits such as reducing pill/product burden,improving motivation and adherence,reducing stigma,and accelerating service delivery integration.lxv Viatris is currently developing a novel dual prevention pill(DPP)for the prevention of pregnancy and HIV.The co-formulate
158、d daily pill will be packaged in a 28-pill blister pack with 21 pills containing TDF,FTC,levonorgestrel,and ethinyl estradiol,and seven pills containing only TDF/FTC.Viatris is tentatively expected to submit the DPP for regulatory review to the US FDA in 2024.lxvi Clinical cross-over acceptability s
159、tudies using an encapsulated combination pill began in late 2022 in South Africa and Zimbabwe to compare adherence,acceptability,and preference to separate oral PrEP and contraception pills.A follow-up version of this study will also be conducted once co-formulation is complete.lxvii A recent cost-e
160、ffectiveness study co-authored by CHAI indicates that among women not already using PrEP,the DPP is likely to be cost saving in sex workers and serodiscordant couples,though further studies on real-life adherence are needed.lxviii Other Novel Delivery ModalitiesMICROARRAY PATCHES:Microarray patches(

163、nfants in SSA.lxxiv Results from the Antibody Mediated Prevention(AMP)Trials found that a bNAb(VRC01)tested did not prevent HIV among cisgender men and transgender persons in the Americas and Europe and at-risk women in SSA.However,in HIV isolates sensitive to the bNAb used in the trial,prevention e
164、fficacy was shown to be 75 percent.lxxv Further investigations of bNAbs informed by the results of the AMP trials continue in a range of early phase,pre-drug studies.lxxvi,lxxvii,lxxviii VACCINES:In Jan.2023,the Mosaico study,a large phase 3 HIV vaccine efficacy study,was stopped due to high HIV inc

169、test.Further,the Wondfo HIVST,the newest and lowest cost option,is available at just one US dollar per test thanks to a ceiling price agreement with MedAccess.ix In Oct.2023,Uganda formally adopted the Wondfo HIVST and the first shipment is expected to arrive in Nov.2023.lxxxvi,xcvii Other countries

172、ons also continue to fall behind,with testing rates for children and adolescents significantly below those of adults.x As the global community pushes toward the last mile in HIV diagnosis,those who remain unaware of their status will likely be the hardest and most expensive to reach.However,testing
173、services remain a critical part of a complex and often non-linear continuum of lifelong care,acting as a point of re-entry for clients who have disengaged from care,playing a vital and growing position as a gateway to prevention services,and performing a central role in monitoring within prevention
174、programs.Research shows that a significant number of people starting HIV treatment are actually re-initiating to care after a gap.In a review of ten studies across the Democratic Republic of Congo,Ethiopia,Kenya,and South Africa,between 20 and 50 percent of people who presented for ART initiation we
175、re found to be previously exposed to ART.lxxxiii This highlights the importance of testing as a primary entry point for re-engagement in care and reinforces the continuing need to maintain HIV testing volumes.Access to low-cost HIV self-tests continues to expand Adoption of HIV self-testing continue

182、latlined over the past few years.In 2022,CHAI estimates that there was no change in EID testing volumes in LMICs compared to 2021,although challenges with POC reporting complicate forecasting Figure 16.3,xciIn addition to this overall stagnation,there are also concerning regional gaps in EID coverag
183、e.For example,in WCA,only 23 percent of HIV-exposed infants were tested for HIV by two months compared to 83 percent in ESA Figure 17.i Further,WCA shows a three-percentage point decrease from 2021,part of a three-year trend of decline.Persistent gaps in early infant diagnosis and pediatric testing
184、stall progress toward epidemic controlChildren and infants continue to be left behind in the HIV response across the care and treatment cascade,beginning with stagnating progress in identification of those living with HIV.Data from 16 PEPFAR countries,which represent 80 percent of CLHIV,found that c

192、ple,a systematic review of 175 studies from 56 countries looked at the prevalence of blood-based diseases across over 14 million individuals.The review found that with multi-disease screening,for every one individual diagnosed with HIV,an additional five would be diagnosed with hepatitis B virus(HBV
193、)and three with hepatitis C virus(HCV).There appear to be even greater potential gains for some key populations,with the review estimating that among people who use drugs,over 60 percent would test positive for HIV,HBV,or HIV and almost 20 percent would test positive for multiple infections.xcii The
194、re is also increasing evidence that combination tests are acceptable and feasible for end users.A study in Thailand found that 99.8 percent of clients using a HIV/HBV/HCV combination self-test were satisfied with the process and that it simplified and streamlined service delivery.xciii With multiple
195、 triple combination tests in development and the PQ pipeline,validation and operational research in country contexts would generate important evidence around feasibility and value of integrated screening.xciv Another key combination test for PLHIV is the dual HIV/syphilis test,which is currently ava
196、ilable from three suppliers with WHO PQ.One of these tests is available from SD Biosensor at a cost of US$0.95(EXW)per test as a result of a CHAI/MedAccess ceiling price agreement.xcv,xcviAdoption of the dual test is ongoing with at least 40 countries including it in national policy for either pregn
197、ant women or key populations.xcviii In tandem with increasing access to testing,treatment for syphilis is also critical to avoid preventable deaths,particularly among exposed infants.However,global shortages of benzathine G penicillin,an injectable,long-acting form of penicillin used to treat syphil
198、is,have impacted access.xcix Global action to address supply chain constraints for this product is needed to ensure that syphilis identification is paired with treatment.There are overlapping transmission routes and risk factors between HIV,HBV,and syphilis and comorbidity can lead to higher vertica
199、l transmission risk.This underscores the critical need for integration of tools and service delivery across disease areas to improve health outcomes and save lives,advancing the global goal toward triple elimination.Suppliers continue to develop additional combination tests with growing interest in
200、combination lateral flow products for triple elimination of HIV,HBV,and syphilis,and others.Increased access to combination tests could help increase identifications across diseases and catalyze cost-effective opportunities to integrate service delivery across disease areas by simplifying procuremen

206、demand barriers in the adult AHD market and introduce the WHO-recommended AHD Package of Care across ten focal countries have significantly improved AHD diagnostic and treatment availability for those who need it most.As part of these efforts,CHAI and partners developed a Global AHD Toolkit that inc

216、ay to accessing the AHD package of care.Without the use of CD4 tests to identify AHD,it is estimated up to 50 percent of AHD cases would be missed as half of patients present as asymptomatic and would not be identified via symptom screening.ciii However,the CD4 market is experiencing several signifi
217、cant supplier shifts estimated to impact access to CD4 testing.In May 2022,Abbott announced that it discontinued manufacturing their PIMA CD4 analyzer,but will continue to supply PIMA cartridges,refurbish existing devices,and honor all existing service and maintenance agreements.civSimilarly,BD anno
218、unced in Dec.2022 that they will discontinue production of both the FACSPresto and FACSCount cartridges and devices by the end of 2024,at which time programs must divert any testing currently being done on these devices to other solutions.cv Given the importance of CD4 testing,partners urged supplie
219、rs to reconsider production of CD4 tests or to support technology transfer for local production.While Abbott is open to a technology transfer,a redesign of the analyzer is required as some raw materials are no longer being produced,thus requiring a significant investment from any manufacturer who wo
220、uld be interested in producing the analyzer.cvi Amidst these discussions,there have been some commitments from suppliers of lab-based tests,as well as AccuBio which produces VISITECT,to stay in the market which will help to ensure future access to testing.Countries should begin to plan for these cha
221、nges in the CD4 market while ensuring access to testing for those who need it.To better inform market visibility,CHAI developed a CD4 forecast split by platform Figure 19.CHAI estimates that conventional testing accounts for over 50 percent of total volumes.cvii While South Africa comprises around o
222、ne third of the conventional volumes,this still indicates considerable conventional testing volumes across the rest of LMICs.This forecast is based on historical demand,and future splits across devices may change significantly as these market shifts bear out.Looking forward,CHAI expects increased ut
223、ilization of VISITECT tests to fill the gaps in POC CD4 testing access.Given the evolving CD4 market dynamics,limited national and donor budgets for CD4,and persistent high rates of AHD at presentation,demand generation and CD4 network optimization will be needed.Demand generation will help address
224、barriers to access,improve future planning,and facilitate earlier testing and linkage to treatment,ultimately improving access to the AHD package of care and reducing preventable AIDS-related deaths.Similarly,CD4 network optimization will enable a better understanding of gaps and highlight solutions
225、 that can optimize CD4 coverage for eligible PLHIV using the existing infrastructure.New point-of-care tests for cryptococcal meningitis could simplify linkage to careCryptococcal meningitis(CM)is a common opportunistic infection associated with AHD,and the second leading cause of death among PLHIV.

230、 capacityWhile there have been significant improvements in access to TB care,an estimated 190,000 PLHIV died of TB globally in 2021.However,with concerted efforts,the 2025 target of 150,000 deaths is well within reach Figure 21.x Achieving this goal will require continued optimization throughout the
231、 cascade of care,including access to optimal TB prevention and treatment regimens.Further enabling future scale-up,a semi-quantitative lateral flow CrAg assay from IMMY is under development and expected to be available in 2023/2024.This test has the potential to simplify linkage to CM treatment by n
232、egating the need for a confirmatory lumbar puncture in a subset of patients.lxxxviii However,further research is still needed to inform WHO guidance.Once CM is identified,access to WHO-recommended treatment is critical to save lives.This includes liposomal amphotericin B(L-AmB)and flucytosine(5FC),k
233、ey components of the induction phase of CM treatment.Between 2021 and 2022,5FC order volumes increased 75 percent and L-AmB order volumes increased 51 percent,as seen by the ARV Procurement Working Group(APWG)and driven by the Unitaid-CHAI Optimal project.As of publication,18 LMICs placed orders for

239、EATHS AMONG PLHIV GLOBALLYiOne of the first critical steps in reducing deaths is identifying those at risk of TB and increasing access to TB preventive therapy(TPT).A new modeling study estimates that failure to implement contact tracing and tuberculosis prevention in 29 high-incidence countries cou
240、ld result in almost 850,000 preventable deaths from TB through 2035.The study also found that scaling up TPT prevented deaths from TB and was likely to be cost-effective among PLHIV in 29 high-HIV-incidence countries.cxii The supply of 3HP,an optimal TPT regimen comprising isoniazid(INH)and rifapent
241、ine(RPT),has stabilized following the easing of several years of supply challenges.cxiii As of 2022,3HP has been adopted by 25 countries,an increase of 39 percent compared to 2021.cx For PLHIV specifically,viral suppression is essential to preventing TB-related deaths.However,only 46 percent of PLHI
242、V who developed TB in 2021 were receiving ART,highlighting another critical gap.x There have also been several advances in TB research that could simplify or shorten treatment timelines.New WHO guidance on multi-drug resistant(MDR)TB now recommends the use of a novel all-oral six-month regimen compo
243、sed of bedaquiline,pretomanid,linezolid,and moxifloxacin(BPaLM).cxiv For drug-susceptible TB,treatment usually consists of a six-month rifampicin(RIF)-based regimen.However,new research indicates that an eight-week regimen composed of bedaquiline and linezolid is safe,efficacious,and noninferior to
244、standard treatment.cxv These shorter regimens could help increase treatment adherence and improve treatment outcomes.Mpox downgraded from a public health emergency,but remains a concern for PLHIV,especially those with unsuppressed viral loadsIn May 2023,the global mpox outbreak was downgraded from a
245、 public health emergency of international concern by the WHO.cxvi However,according to a recent cohort study,PLHIV remain at increased risk of mpox infection and accounted for up to half the cases in 2022.The study also found that mortality from mpox among PLHIV increases as CD4 count decreases,sugg
246、esting particular susceptibility for people with AHD.cxvii The WHO continues to recommend PLHIV with AHD as a priority group for mpox vaccination.cxviii Continued disparities in morbidity and mortality among CLHIV demonstrate the need for additional investments in pediatric AHD careChildren living w
247、ith HIV continue to be disproportionately affected by AHD.In 2022,CLHIV accounted for 13 percent of AIDS-related deaths,despite comprising only four percent of PLHIV.x The youngest CLHIV are particularly at risk,with PEPFAR program data showing that CLHIV on ART under five have an increased likeliho
248、od of death compared to older age groups.cxix To better address the needs of CLHIV,it is critical to understand key gaps and challenges in identifying and managing AHD for this group and improve monitoring of drivers and outcomes.A recent article co-authored by CHAI provides an overview of common cl
249、inical presentations of AHD in children and adolescents,and articulates that the prevalence and presentation of opportunistic infections vary significantly between adults and children living with HIV.xi It also highlights the pressing need for additional investments in research and evidence generati

255、 challenges,including targeted awareness campaigns and partnerships with community leaders,and support networks to dispel gender-related myths and stereotypes that hinder men from seeking and adhering to treatment.cxx Over 90 percent of adult PLHIV on ART in GA LMICs now take DTG-based regimens CHAI

262、,cxxvii While WHO guidelines have not been updated to reflect this,the WHO has committed to re-evaluating TDF recycling and other“second-line”recommendations.Adoption of TDF recycling could have major implications on NRTI use in GA LMICs.CHAI estimates that zidovudine(AZT)use will be significantly r

266、ts on rifampicin-based TB treatment.cxxix While further research is required in this area,these findings could potentially improve ART adherence,minimize unnecessary ARV exposure,and reduce program costs.Given the widespread use of DTG across first-and second-line treatment,and the data challenges p
267、rograms face in differentiating between DTG used in various lines of therapy,CHAIs estimates are aggregated across lines of treatment.The global community may need to revisit the traditional treatment classification structure utilizing lines of therapy and consider categorizing clients based on prio
268、r drug exposure instead.cxxii New research continues to show that recycling tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)-based nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor(NRTI)backbones is effective when used with DTG,which could have implications on treatment sequencing and DTG use.Results from D2EFT,a random
269、ized open-label study,showed that a switch to TDF+XTC+DTG without universal access to genotyping was non-inferior to using DRV/r and two NRTIs following treatment failure on a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor(NNRTI).cxxiii The study also found a second-line regimen comprised of just DT

276、ne revisionsHistorically,the adult second-line market in GA LMICs has been dominated by the protease inhibitors atazanavir/ritonavir(ATV/r)and lopinavir/ritonavir(LPV/r).From 2012 to 2022,ATV/rs market share within the PI category increased from six to 59 percent due to its lower cost,better clinica
277、l profile,and significantly lower pill burden compared to LPV/r.lxxxviii A third PI,darunavir(DRV),is considered the best-in-class protease inhibitor due to its high genetic barrier to resistance,improved viral suppression rates,better tolerability,and lower pill burden compared to LPV/r.However,no
278、affordable generic product co-formulated with ritonavir was available in LMICs until Hetero Labs DRV/r(400/50 mg)product received WHO PQ in July 2021 and was launched at US$17.50/pack thanks to a CHAI-Unitaid pricing agreement.cxxxiv Despite this availability,and pricing below that of LPV/r,uptake i
279、n GA LMICs has been slow to date.A major challenge limiting DRV/r uptake at scale is its status in the WHO guidelines as an alternative second-line option following treatment failure with DTG.PEPFAR had also been unable to procure Heteros DRV/r product given that it is WHO prequalified and not US FD
280、A-approved,thus limiting access to DRV/r in PEPFAR-supported countries.However,these barriers are beginning to fall.PEPFAR can now procure Heteros product and has initiated orders.CHAI expects this will result in increased adoption beyond the 12 LMICs currently procuring DRV/r Figure 26.cxxxv Additi
281、onally,PEPFAR has signaled that it will no longer procure LPV/r(200/50 mg)tablets as it looks to scale optimal DRV/r in line with recent COP guidance.However,it is important to note that some use cases remain for LPV/r,such as in the treatment of TB/HIV co-infected clients who need a PI,as DRV/r and
282、 ATV/r cannot be used alongside rifampicin-based TB treatment.FIGURE 26:DRV/r(400/50 MG)ADOPTION MAP,APWG,AS OF Q3 2023cxxxvIn addition to PEPFARs ability to procure,the WHO has committed to reviewing its second-line treatment guidelines,including DRV/rs positioning and NRTI recycling,following stro

287、 a lower price compared to TDF/3TC/EFV(TLE),enhancing treatment outcomes.Currently available optimal ARVs are effective,well tolerated,and safe.However,given all available options in LMICs consist of daily oral pills,there are still challenges associated with daily(and lifelong)adherence.Long-acting
288、 options,including those in the development pipeline,hold the potential to improve adherence and discretion Figure 29.Dual therapy with novel agents has re-emerged as a potential option both for long-acting non-oral combinations and more traditional shorter acting oral regimens.Dual therapy in LMICs

312、forts from national and international stakeholders are required to address the unique challenges faced by pediatric populations.Continued adoption and scale-up of pediatric DTG has improved adherence and viral suppression rates two years post rollout The widespread availability and affordability of
313、generic pediatric formulations of DTG marks a significant achievement in the pediatric HIV response.viii At the time of publication,more than 80 LMICs have commenced procurement of pediatric DTG,with 160,000 children accessing the product Figure 33.Beyond just adoption,data from PEPFAR-supported cou

321、RKET REPORT31FIGURE 34:TORPEDO STUDY RESULTScxlviiiIn parallel to increased adoption,research continues to indicate a preference for,and improved viral suppression with,DTG use in children.The TORPEDO study(conducted in Benin,Nigeria,and Uganda),which assessed client,caregiver,and healthcare worker
322、treatment preferences,found a strong preference for pDTG compared to previously used regimens.cxlviii Most of the ART-experienced study participants were previously receiving LPV/r tablets(83 percent)or LPV/r pellets(14 percent).Most healthcare workers noted an improvement in adherence due to pDTGs
323、enhanced palatability and ease of administration.Healthcare workers responded to an open-ended question about their experience with prescribing pDTG,and over two-thirds noted improved weight gain and adherence for their clients,aligned with findings from the ODYSSEY and CHAPAS-4 trials.cxlix,cl Addi
324、tionally,after the transition to DTG,the proportion of CLHIV in the study with an undetectable viral load increased by 25 and 18 percentage points in Benin and Nigeria respectively at 6 months.The proportion of CLHIV with undetectable viral load at baseline in Uganda was higher as compared to the ot
325、her countries and did not see the same increase at six months Figure 34.Such real-world evidence from LMIC settings will serve as a catalyst for continued uptake of optimal pDTG-based regimens,further improving adherence and viral suppression,leading to improved treatment outcomes in children.FIGURE
