PEPFAR - UNAIDS: Partnering for HIV Response

Context

With an estimated 526,841 people living with HIV (PLHIV) as of 2022, Indonesia continues to grapple with an HIV epidemic that disproportionately affects the country’s most vulnerable communities. USAID ;programs support ongoing Government of Indonesia efforts to encourage more Indonesians to protect themselves against HIV infection and make HIV testing and treatment more widely available.

To achieve epidemic control, countries need to ensure 95 percent of people living with HIV (PLHIV) are diagnosed, 95 percent of those diagnosed are on treatment, and 95 percent of those on treatment are virally suppressed. The Indonesian Ministry of Health has committed to reach these 95-95-95 targets by 2027, and has set an interim goal of achieving 60 percent treatment coverage by 2024.

PEPFAR-UNAIDS Partnership for Policy Development Strategic Information, and Community Capacity Development to Accelerate Reach of Indonesia's Treatment Acceleration Plan

Through special initiative funding from the U.S. Government through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), USAID, through UNAIDS, is improving treatment for Indonesians living with HIV and helping Indonesia reach its HIV treatment targets. With U.S. and other donor support, UNAIDS works both at the national level and in select priority districts.

Anticipated Results

UNAIDS supports Indonesia to reach treatment acceleration targets, with a focus on providing technical assistance to 26 cities and districts to:

• Improve the capacity of national stakeholders to use strategic information effectively in support of HIV treatment acceleration;
• Integrate PrEP and community-based HIV self-testing into national HIV policy and programming for scaled implementation;
• Enhance the capacity of networks of PLHIV and key populations to spearhead community-led monitoring and advocacy in support of HIV treatment acceleration; and
• Strengthen protection for PLHIV and members of key populations from HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
