Levier de la riposte au sida, l’ONUSIDA s’emploie à bâtir l’action politique et à promouvoir les droits de tous les individus afin d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats pour la santé et le développement dans le monde. Il fixe des orientations au niveau mondial et incarne la source des données relatives au VIH. Dans les pays, le Programme commun rassemble les ressources du Secrétariat de l’ONUSIDA et de 10 organisations du système des Nations Unies pour des activités coordonnées et responsables visant à unir le monde contre le sida.

This report provides a quick snapshot of the state of the AIDS response, key findings and action points. For the first time UNAIDS is presenting AIDS scorecards that provide a quick overview of the progress made by United Nations Member States in the global AIDS response.

The 2010 edition of the UNAIDS Report on the global AIDS epidemic includes new country by country scorecards on key issues facing the AIDS response. Based on the latest data from 182 countries, this global reference book provides comprehensive analysis on the AIDS epidemic and response. For the first time the report includes trend data on incidence from more than 60 countries.

A new report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), released on 21 November, shows that 2011 was a game changing year for the AIDS response with unprecedented progress in science, political leadership and results. The report also shows that new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths have fallen to the lowest levels since the peak of the epidemic.

This documents the extraordinary progress achieved over the past decade in the health sector response to HIV. Access to evidence-informed HIV prevention, testing and counselling, treatment and care services in low- and middle-income countries has expanded dramatically.

The data tables describe in greater detail the progress being made against the HIV epidemic and the main challenges to achieving zero HIV infections and zero AIDS deaths. The data are drawn from country progress reports and will be updated regularly. This document reflects information found in the publication ‘Global HIV/AIDS response: epidemic update and health sector progress towards universal access: progress report 2011’, by UNAIDS, UNICEF and WHO.

Meeting the investment challenge is a supplement of the new UNAIDS report Together we will end AIDS and provides additional information on domestic and international resources for AIDS. The supplement highlights the fact that domestic investments have surpassed global giving in 2011.

To inform the midterm review, UNAIDS is requesting countries to provide their most recent data for 2012, using the indicators in this document. This data will serve countries in conducting their own midterm reviews, helping countries to focus on the areas where action is most needed to reach countries' priority targets and elimination commitments by 2015.
