Applying the same prevalence rate to a growing population will result in increasing numbers of people living with HIV. 2.2

Disconnect between dynamics of the epidemic and action: example from a West African country General population prevalence 1.8%; antenatal clinic data stable 10 years Peak age is 35-39 years (low prevalence in youth) Sex worker HIV prevalence 78% and 82% in 2 largest cities 75% of new infections in men in the capital city are clients of sex workers Strategic plan presupposes a highly generalised epidemic with widest possible engagement of society and a broad range of interventions Only 0.8% of AIDS investments are focused on sex work

Impact of external grants on the macroeconomy at country level If small share in GDP, no problem If grants used to purchase imports (e.g. drugs), not much of a problem this is similar to receiving commodities If grants used to purchase nontradeables (goods or services that you can t import) then it creates demand for local goods and services; in large amounts, it pushes up their prices which disproportionately affects poor people It also pushes up demand for local currency, appreciating the exchange rate which can have a potentially adverse effect on exporters. Can you use grants to improve supply-side of economy reduce key bottlenecks? Adverse impact on revenue mobilization? Creates dependency? Advantages of debt relief

Addressing AIDS in the poorest communities and countries AIDS money has most impact when strategies are based on the concept of know and act on your epidemic. Combine HIV programmes with poverty reduction initiatives. e.g. NGOs integrating HIV prevention into village/community banking programmes/microfinance (Malawi) for women, and combine AIDS education with the provision of microfinance to groups of women: need to shift from small-scale scale projects to large-scale programmes. Provision of HIV treatment can help prevent poverty, delay orphaning and indirectly contribute to HIV prevention as well. Development plans (whether they concern the development of productive sectors or the provision of social safety nets) must pass the AIDS test. e.g. World Bank-supported Chad/Cameroon Pipeline Project, supports HIV workplace interventions along the pipeline route both for workers and for affected communities Poverty reduction programmes and AIDS strategies must both reduce vulnerability particularly of women and young people: protecting human rights and tackling issues around social marginalization and stigma. Increased and sustained international support, driven by high-level political commitment and anchored in country ownership.
