16 Universality No one left behind

17 Access Universality to ART Number of PLWHA on ART. Brazil,

18 New targets, new approaches, new Universality strategies HIV treatment HIV Treatment Guidelines Test and Treat; Definition of first and second line regimens; Treatment optimization: Preferred regimen in fixed dose combination the same regimen for adults, pregnant women and TB co-infected patients;

19 New targets, new approaches, new Universality strategies Median pre-treatment CD4 count and proportional distribution of PLWHA who initiated ART, stratified by pre-treatment CD4 result. Brazil,

20 New targets, new approaches, new Universality strategies Distribution of PLWHA in treatment according to the value of viral load six months after starting ART. Brazil, % 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 75% 76% 77% 80% 78% 78% 5% 6% 4% 6% 4% 7% 4% 5% 6% 6% 6% 4% 4% 4% 6% 5% 5% 5% 8% 8% 7% 6% 8% 7% <=50

21 New targets, new approaches, new Universality strategies HIV treatment Information system in service level to trigger health actions: list of patients who are not on treatment (GAP); list of patients on ART with detectable viral load.

22 Lauching on July 28, 2015 (next Tuesday) new Hepatites C Guidelines, treating ALL co-infections with Hep C, regardless level of fibrosis

26 New targets, new approaches, Community new participation strategies Targeting Youth Young people s workshop 2014 Mass media New leaders workshop 2015

27 Integrality Sinergy to achieve efficiency
