1 UNAIDS 214 ETHIOPIA HIV EPIDEMIC PROFILE

2 214 ETHIOPIA Overview The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is a country located at the horn of Africa. According to population projections the total population was around 84 million in 212, making it the second most populous country in Africa. 1 In 213, adult HIV prevalence was estimated at 1.2% [ %]. Antenatal clinic (ANC) sentinel surveillance data show that HIV prevalence among pregnant women declined from 5.7% in 23 to 3.3% in 27 and to 2.3% in Despite the declining trend in HIV prevalence, significant challenges still remain in addressing the HIV epidemic, including emerging and growing populations at high risk of infection, associated with economic development activities, as well as the large population of pregnant women living with HIV, and low coverage of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) and paediatric treatment in the country. 3 Table 1 HIV epidemic indicators People living with HIV 88 [79 98 ] 79 [72 89 ] New HIV infections Adult 15+ new HIV infections AIDS-related deaths HIV prevalence (adults aged 15-49) HIV incidence (adults aged 15-49) Children (-14 years) living with HIV Children (-14 years) newly infected with HIV Adults 15+ living with HIV Women 15+ living with HIV HIV prevalence among young women (15-24 years) HIV prevalence among young men (15-24 years) New HIV infections among young women (15-24 years) New HIV infections among young men (15-24 years) HIV-positive incident TB cases* Percentage of men circumcised (adults aged 15-49) 26 [2 35 ] 8 9 [ ] 61 [5 73 ] 1.5% [ %].2% [.1.4%] 26 [22 3 ] 17 [14 2 ] 62 [56 7 ] 39 [35 45 ].3% [.3.4%].2% [.2.3%] 2 2 [1 4 ] <1 [<5 18] NA NA 21 [15 32 ] 13 [ ] 45 [36 55 ] 1.2% [ %].3% [.2.5%] 2 [17 23 ] 8 3 [ ] 59 [54 67 ] 37 [34 42 ].5% [.4.6%].4% [.3.5%] 3 3 [ ] 1 4 [<1 2 5] 23 * 91.8% (EDHS 211) Sources: UNAIDS 213 HIV estimates 4 ; * WHO Global TB report 213; Global AIDS Response Progress Report (GARPR), Central Statistical Agency, Summary and Statistical Report of the 27 Population and Housing Census, Projection Population Census Commission, Federal Republic of Ethiopia, July Antenatal Surveillance Report, Ethiopian Public Health Institute, Ethiopia Global AIDS Response Progress Report UNAIDS 214 Gap Report and unpublished estimates of the Gap Report. 2

7 Commitment to HIV prevention, treatment and care The Government of Ethiopia launched the PMTCT acceleration plan in 212 followed by the national strategy for elimination of MTCT in 213, demonstrating high commitment and leadership towards the elimination of paediatric infections and reduction of maternal mortality. Ethiopia has adopted WHO Option B+ to prevent mother-to-child transmission. The country also adopted the 213 WHO treatment guidelines recommending the initiation of treatment for adults living with HIV with CD4 count<5 cells/µl, and treatment for all children living with HIV under 15 years. Following the success and review of the implementation of the second multi-sectoral HIV response strategic plan (21/ /15), Ethiopia is currently developing its national strategic plan for the HIV response for the period based on the investment case framework. Achievements/progress in the national HIV response High level political commitment has been demonstrated by the government. The HIV response remains a top priority in Ethiopia s development agenda as clearly stated in its Growth and Transformation Plan. Moreover, the government has mainstreamed HIV in all public and non-public sectors through assigning key HIV focal persons, allocating up to 2% of sector budgets to HIV activities and establishing AIDS funds through the contribution of government employee salaries. HIV prevalence among pregnant women has fallen significantly from 5.7% in 23 to 2.3% in 212 according to ANC sentinel surveillance data. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage rates among all adults living with HIV has increased from 34% in 21 to 5% in 213. The number of AIDS-related deaths has fallen from 125 in 24 to 45 at the end of 213. Challenges in the national HIV response Ethiopia needs to intensify its response to effectively reach HIV discordant couples. There is also a need to scale up programmes to reach various populations at high risk of infection. Strategic information and data on key populations also needs to be improved. PMTCT coverage is still low despite increasing access to ANC services and expansion of PMTCT sites. Significant missed opportunities and loss of women and children at every step of the PMTCT cascade is observed. Key bottlenecks in the expansion of PMTCT services include the need to increase the demand and quality of services. Poor adherence to treatment regimens and limited capacity for laboratory screening and point of care monitoring pose significant challenges to scaling up and improving retention of people living with HIV in care and ART services. Paediatric treatment coverage (of all children younger than 15 years living with HIV) in 213 was still very low at 9.%. The country is experiencing significant challenges in identifying older children/adolescents living with HIV (survivors from vertical transmission). More focus is needed to reach children, particularly orphans and vulnerable children. Much of the direct HIV investment in Ethiopia is still donor driven, and 86% of current HIV financing is external (NASA 211/12). There is need to increase both the domestic and private sector contributions, and to use available resources more efficiently. 7
