HIV and AIDS Epidemic: Potential Contribution from DSS sites

This study delves into the impact of HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa, reflecting global statistics and geographic disparities. It emphasizes the role of Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) sites in monitoring and evaluating antiretroviral therapy (ART) roll-out programs across various African regions to assess the effects on individuals, families, populations, and health systems. The study aims to uncover insights on ART uptake, survival rates, quality of life, household economics, and societal stigmas related to HIV/AIDS.

  14. What We Know and Don’t Know…

  15. DSS Sites Can Advance Knowledge

  16. A Population-based Longitudinal Assessment of ART Rollout:Effects on Individuals, Populations, and, Health SystemsProposal byINDEPTH Network

  17. 5-year evaluation of the antiretroviral therapy (ART) roll-out programmes at INDEPTH sites in West, East and Southern Africa

  18. Collaborating Sites • Agincourt (South Africa) • Nairobi  (Kenya) • Bandim  (Guinea Bissau) • Ifakara (Tanzania) • Kisumu (Kenya) 

  19. Overall Objectives Effect of ART roll-out on • Individuals under treatment & families • The population • Health systems

  20. Effect on Individuals and Their Families • Survival after starting ART • Quality-of-life on ART • Sexual behaviour of individuals taking ART • Economic impact on households with member taking ART

  21. Effect of ART on the Population • Trends in mortality, morbidity, and survival in DSS communities • Household structure and childcare • Sexual behaviour in the population • Stigma at population level • Access to ART- what % of those who need it are receiving it?

  22. Effect of ART and the Health System • Understanding ART roll-out national policies, how they are developed/revised • Interpretation and application of policies at district level • Equity in provision of ART • ART impacts on other health services • Improving effectiveness of ART roll-out programmes

  23. Proposed Activities Existing DSS activities • Verbal autopsies on cause of death • Population and household structure • Socio-economic status Additional activities • Population-based HIV testing • Morbidity, sexual behaviour studies • Closer linkage with health service provider
