Abstract

Understanding and measuring the burden of HIV faces several remaining challenges around the globe. HIV prevention, care, and treatment efforts, including advocacy for populations at risk of HIV, the design and implementation of national guidelines, monitoring the coverage of HIV programs and evaluating their impact, are not feasible without relatively precise estimates of the impact and magnitude of HIV among different subpopulations.
