UNDP and HIV
…in Europe and the CIS
DRR MeetingDecember 2008
“ The AIDS epidemic is not only a major humanitarian concern but also an unparalleled development crisis.”
UNDP Administrator, Kemal DervisDecember 2006 World AIDS Day
“Many countries will fail to achieve the MDGs – or come even close – unless they respond to this (AIDS) crisis forcefully and with far more support from the international community.
I would like to emphasize that HIV-AIDS remains one of our top priorities…
2007 AIDS Epidemic Update
HIV/AIDS in RBEC region Relatively low, asymmetric prevalence . . .
BUT… very high growth (incidence): 1.5 million people now living with HIV in EE/CIS 110,000 new infections in 2007 twenty-fold increase in less than a decade!
Highly concentrated among marginalised: Injecting drug users Commercial sex workers Inmates of correctional facilities
Yet signs of generalization in the region Share of heterosexual transmission rising rapidly, now at
37% Share of new infections among women now 40% Number of children born to women living with HIV rapidly
increasing – schools and society are not prepared
Increase in the share of registered HIV infections among women (Russia 1995 – 2006)
HIV infections newly diagnosed: Cases reported in 2007 per million population WHO European Region
HIV infections newly diagnosed per million population, 1995-2006, selected countries, Eastern Europe
Is growing political leadership delivering on AIDS in the region?
