  2. ‘Three Threes’ • Three exceptional epidemics • Russia and Ukraine • Poor countries with low health spends and mid-range HIV burdens • Hyper-endemic countries of Southern Africa • Three challenges • Prevention • Care and treatment (in light of new guidelines) • Impact mitigation and looking to the next generation • Three critical responses • What works • Who pays • How can it be sustained

  13. Three Critical Responses • What works? • Who pays? (and for what) • Sustainability

  14. What Works Prevention of Vertical Transmission Combination prevention Male circumcision Social change Leadership Changing Gender Relations Economic Empowerment Community Mobilisation Treatment

  18. Global Resource Needs Source: Estimating the Long-term Global Resource Needs for AIDS through 2031. Draft Working Paper. 2009. AIDS 2031

  19. Sustainability Do we agree on importance of AIDS in the global development context and in global health The rich world needs to keep promises Africa needs to honour the Abuja Declaration (Only Botswana and Gambia have achieved this) Treatment is not sustainable without prevention and international commitment Political and financial commitment are both needed

  20. Targets set in 2005 much has been done MDG targets in Southern Africa not sure? Should we change targets (treatment)? Keeping ‘exceptional’ epidemics on the agenda? Moving forward? Who makes decisions? Partnerships? Conclusions
