4. 2. Access to treatment
Short definition: Percentage of adults and children estimated living
with HIV, who are receiving antiretroviral therapy
Rationale:
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is reducing HIV-related
morbidity and mortality amongst those living with HIV
and reduces transmission of HIV. Countries estimate the
people in need of treatment using their own treatment
guidelines, but this indicator measures overall coverage,
comparable across countries.

5. 3. Stigma and discrimination
Short definition:
Percentage of women and men aged 15-49 who report
discriminatory attitudes towards people living with HIV
Rationale:
Discrimination is a human rights violation and stigma
related to HIV and AIDS is a major bottle neck for people
accessing prevention, testing, treatment, care and support.
Measuring stigma and discrimination will enable
governments to take appropriate measure to reduce stigma
within the community and among key populations.

6. 4. HIV testing
Short definition: Percentage of women and men aged 15-49 who received
an HIV test in the past 12 months and know their results
Rationale:
In order to protect themselves and to prevent infecting
others, it is important for individuals to know their HIV
status. Knowledge of oneâs status is the critical factor in the
decision to seek treatment.

indicators to consider:
#

C
Indicator
Intimate partner
violence
Short definition
Proportion of ever-married or partnered women aged
15-49 who experienced physical or sexual violence
from a male intimate partner in the past 12 months
Financial
accountability
on health
Percentage of health expenditure of countryâs total
budget/expenditure
Governance and
public
accountability
To what extent the implementation of the national
AIDS response and results obtained are being
regularly (i.e. annually) reviewed and accounted for
in public by high level government authorities such
as Parliament or Cabinet? How are the results
shared and corrective measures publicized?
Setting core indicators for 2015 and beyond
Rationale
It measures progress in
reducing prevalence of
intimate partner violence
against women (as an
outcome itself and as a
proxy for gender
inequality).
Measures progress
against the Abuja
declaration target of
having 15% of total budget
spent on health.
Publicly shared review
mechanisms and policy
level decisions are an
integral part of
transparent, democratic
and empowering process
to engage broad spectrum
of society to a change
process. Policy question
on AIDS should be
incorporated to the policy
and governance section of
the questionnaire.
