The impact of HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence: an annotated bibliography
UNAIDS
The impact of HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence: an annotated bibliography was commissioned by the International Task Team on HIV-related Travel Restrictions. The Task Team was established by UNAIDS in January 2008 as an advisory/technical group whose role was to galvanize attention to such restrictions on national, regional and international agendas, calling for and supporting efforts towards their elimination. The principles of non-discrimination and the greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS Principle formed the core of the Task Team’s work and provided the context in which its efforts were set.
Report of the International Task Team on HIV-related Travel Restrictions - Findings and Recommendations - December 2008
UNAIDS
This is the Report of the Task Team, presenting its Findings and Recommendations. The Task Team affirmed that HIV-specific restrictions on entry, stay and residence based on HIV status are discriminatory, do not protect the public health and are overly broad in terms of rationally identifying those whose entry or stay might result in an undue burden on public monies. According to the Task Team, such restrictions have always been ineffective but have become even more inappropriate in the age of globalization, increased travel, treatment for HIV, and national and international commitments to universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support and the protection of the human rights of people living with HIV.
Implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS: Core Indicators

Maintaining the momentum and monitoring progress are essential
Monitoring the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS : guidelines on construction of core indicators : 2010 reporting.
UNAIDS
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide National AIDS Councils (or equivalent) with technical guidance on how to measure the revised list of core indicators for the implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, adopted by Member States of the United Nations during the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS in June 2001. These guidelines provide technical guidance on the detailed specifications of the core indicators, on the information required and the basis of their construction, and on their interpretation. The guidelines also aim to maximize the validity, internal consistency and comparability across countries and over time of the indicator estimates obtained. In particular, the guidelines aim to ensure consistency in the types of data and methods of calculation employed.
