Tel: (415) 476-4082 ext. 400. ([email protected]) Abstract Introduction: Achieving HIV epidemic control globally will require new strategies to accelerate reductions in HIV incidence and mortality. Universal test and treat (UTT) was evaluated in four randomized population-based trials (BCPP/Ya Tsie, HPTN 071/PopART, SEARCH, ANRS 12249/TasP) conducted in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) during expanded antiretroviral treatment (ART) eligibility by World Health Organization guidelines and the UNAIDS 90-90-90 campaign. Discussion: These three-year studies were conducted in Botswana, Zambia, Uganda, Kenya and South Africa in settings with baseline HIV prevalence from 4% to 30%. Key observations across studies were: (1) Universal testing (implemented via a vari- ety of home and community-based testing approaches) achieved >90% coverage in all studies. (2) When coupled with robust linkage to HIV care, rapid ART start and patient-centred care, UTT achieved among the highest reported population levels of viral suppression in SSA.

    iane Havlir is a pioneering leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. She has Ddeveloped groundbreaking studies of early treatments, including highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to overcome HIV’s ability to mutate and become resistant to individual drugs. She is a leader in a research field that has transformed HIV from a fatal disease to one that can be managed as a Distinguished chronic illness. Her clinical trials Alumna have defined best practices for not only the treatment of HIV, but also for tuberculosis (TB) and other infectious diseas- es, and her work has impacted national and global guidelines. Havlir was an internal medicine resident at the University of California, San Francisco, when AIDS emerged in the 1980s and has cared for HIV-infected patients for more than Diane 25 years.

    SCALING UP ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS: TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH 2003 REVISION WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GENEVA 2004 1 The creation of the present guidelines would not have been possible without the participation of numerous experts. The World Health Organization wishes to express special gratitude to the Writing Committee that developed this document. This Committee was chaired by Professor Scott Hammer of Columbia University (New York City, USA) and its other members were Diane Havlir (University of California at San Francisco,USA), Elise Klement (Médecins Sans Frontières,France), Fabio Scano (WHO/ HTM/STB, Switzerland), Jean-Ellie Malkin (ESTHER, France), Jean-François Delfraissy (CHU BICETRE,ANRS, Paris, France), Joep Lange (International AIDS Society, Sweden), Lydia Mungherera (GNP+, Uganda), Lynne Mofenson (National Institute of Health, NICHD, USA), Mark Harrington (Treatment Action Group, New York, USA), Mauro Schechter (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), N.

This document was developed through an expert consultation process in which account was taken of current scientifi c evidence and the state of the art in the treatment of HIV infection. The primary focus was the context of resource-limited settings. After the production of draft guidelines by the Writing Committee in October 2003, the document was sent to more than 200 institutional and organizational partners worldwide and made available for public consultation from 28 October to 14 November 2003 on the WHO and ITAC websites.

    Within Reach: Eliminating HIV, Malaria and Tuberculosis Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine “ We are the generation that can bring HIV, malaria and tuberculosis close to elimination worldwide— improving the health and well-being of the most vulnerable along the way.” Diane Havlir, MD, Division Chief and Professor of Medicine Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases & Global Medicine Department of Medicine UCSF’s Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at ZSFG • 34 full-time faculty • 7 postdoctoral scholars • 6 clinical fellows • 100+ staff and non-faculty academics • 100+ international research staff Reaching Beyond Walls “The culture of teamwork in San Francisco and internationally is incredible. Our team is passionate and devoted to solving the highest impact health problems.” Vivek Jain, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine 2 If these walls could talk, they’d tell a remarkable story. Of ambition, resilience and hope prevailing over loss, confusion and mourning. They have survived earthquakes and epidemics, yet celebrated discoveries and development. Some walls are concrete, and have witnessed the real devastation by AIDS in San Francisco, followed by a resurgence of optimism. Others are mud, and contain a mix of joy, faith and disbelief as HIV, malaria and tuberculosis (TB) start to subside in rural Africa. With 37 million people worldwide living with HIV, 214 million with malaria and 10 million with TB, the walls absorb a troubling past, yet project a hopeful future. In uncertain times, they harbor the sick and weary. They offer warmth and security. Though some walls divide and diminish, others engage and empower. Continued progress toward disease elimination requires a reach beyond walls.
