In this first issue UNAIDS Outlook Report explores new ideas and ways to use the data collected in the AIDS Epidemic Update companion report.
It’s clear that the HIV epidemic the world faces today is not the same as when
it was at its peak in 1996. The number of people living with HIV has continued to grow, albeit less rapidly. The way we respond today needs to keep pace with and overtake the epidemic if we are to see a real change in people’s lives, aspirations and futures. |

| This report summarizes the latest data on the epidemiology of HIV. The epidemiological estimates in this report reflect continued improvement in national IV surveillance systems and estimation methodology. In 2007–2008, national household surveys with anonymous HIV testing components were conducted in 11 countries, including nine in sub-Saharan Africa. Improvements in HIV surveillance and information systems not only provide a clearer, more reliable picture of the epidemic at the global, regional and country levels but are also helping national governments and other stakeholders to tailor AIDS responses in order to maximize the impact on public health. |

| This review is a novel attempt in India to examine closely the dynamics of HIV transmission in intimate partner relationships. It examines the various factors leading to it. Based on the findings, the review throws light on the gaps in current prevention programmes and suggests ways to fill these gaps. There are a few examples on how to prevent HIV transmission from MSM populations to their intimate sexual partners. However, these interventions are not widespread and embedded in the national response to HIV. Hence, the report calls for evidence-informed modifications in the programmes to address these gaps and scale-up community-based programmes to rural areas. It also points to the need for more focused research. |

This toolkit aims to be a starting point for information to assist Parliamentarians in their roles as community leaders. It was developed in consultation with the Parliamentarians’ Forum on HIV and AIDS and after extensive feedback from a large number of Parliamentarians from across the country. It is the beginning of a dialogue between leaders about how to provide leadership in responding to HIV and AIDS. Apart from the ten leaflets on various aspects of HIV in India that are listed on this website, it also contains:
1. A CD titled 'Resource Kit for Parliamentarians' -- a comprehensive toolkit on all relevant aspects of HIV and AIDS in India for political leaders.
2. A DVD of the film Disha (Direction) on action by political leaders in the response to HIV.
The CD and the DVD can be obtained by request from UNAIDS India. Please email india@unaids.org.

| The realization that Asia's response, overall, has neither matched nor kept pace with the unfolding realities of the HIV epidemics led to the creation of the Commission on AIDS in Asia in June 2006. The Commission's principle mandate was to conduct an analysis of the developmental consequences of the AIDS epidemic in the region, and its medium to long-term implications on the socioeconomic environment. The Commission has reviewed over 5,000 papers; commissioned almost 30 new studies in a range of areas; engaged more than 30 specialists to examine and propose new and innovative ways to address the epidemics in Asia; surveyed over 600 members from community-based organizations and other members of civil society; and staged two sub-regional workshops and five country missions, listening to testimonies on the HIV situation and response from Government and civil society representatives. |
