Abstract

What is already known about this topic?

Since the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) announced the 90-90-90 targets to control the global HIV epidemic in 2014, many countries have undertaken innovative measures to achieve this goal. The National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention (NCAIDS) of China CDC convenes experts annually to evaluate the national progress towards these indicators. The most recent progress of 90-90-90 targets in China has not been previously published.

What is added by this report?

At the end of 2018, the percentage of living with HIV (PLWH) who had received a confirmed HIV diagnosis in China was 68.9% (61.5%-78.3%). The antiretroviral treatment coverage of diagnosed PLWH was 83.4%, and among patients on treatment for at least 12 months, 94.2% achieved viral suppression. This provides most recent progress of 90-90-90 target in China.

What are the implications for public health practice?

China has made significant strides in curbing the HIV epidemic, but analysis on progress for the first 90 target for HIV testing remains out of reach. Innovative testing strategies may need to be developed to ensure that more PLWH can be identified.
