This operational guidance with a simple checklist provides participating countries with a uniform and light-touch process for tracking and reporting on actions undertaken to eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination under the Global Partnership. It aims to advance accountability, transparency, and effective communication of the achievements of the Global Partnership at country level. Available in Portuguese

The purpose of this Information/Guidance Note is to provide the Joint Programme including UNAIDS and cosponsors at all levels, with guidance in drawing upon the full collective experience of the Joint Programme and engaging and supporting national mpox responses, alongside our efforts in advancing HIV service coverage, to protect people vulnerable to HIV. This guidance is produced in line with the UNAIDS Position on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPPR), WHO Strategic Framework for Enhancing Prevention and Control of Mpox (2024‐2027) and the Global AIDS Strategy (2021–2026).

Every year UNAIDS provides revised global, regional and countryspecific modelled estimates using the best available epidemiological and programmatic data to track the HIV epidemic. Modelled estimates are required because it is not possible to count the exact number of people living with HIV, people who are newly infected with HIV, or people who have died from AIDS-related causes in any country. Doing so would require regularly testing every person for HIV and investigating all deaths, which is logistically infeasible and ethically problematic. Modelled estimates—and the lower and upper bounds around these estimates—provide a rigorous representation of the HIV pandemic in terms of levels and trends. Related links: New UNAIDS report shows AIDS pandemic can be ended by 2030, but only if leaders boost resources and protect human rights now | Full report
