Supporting Research on HIV Prevalence, Indicators, and Services
MEASURE DHS is contributing to the world’s understanding of the HIV pandemic. The project now measures national HIV prevalence and collects data on internationally recognized AIDS indicators and on the capacity of health care facilities to deliver HIV prevention and treatment services.
HIV Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors
DHS and AIS surveys measure many AIDS related indicators, including knowledge of HIV/AIDS and HIV/AIDS prevention methods, attitudes towards those with HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS related behaviors such as higher-risk sex and HIV testing. |
Delivery of HIV/AIDS Related Services (HIV SPA)
The HIV/AIDS SPA focuses on the delivery of preventive care and support services. It provides data on all indicators in the President’s Emergency Plan, including voluntary counseling and testing, prevention of maternal-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS, and antiretroviral therapy. Learn more>>
