Disaggregation:

Age, Sex

Method of measurement

Analysis of country data on HIV prevalence, particularly among young age groups and, where available, direct HIV incidence data; internationally consistent modelled estimates, e.g. Spectrum AIM.

M&E Framework:

Impact

Method of estimation:

Modelled estimates of the number of new HIV infections are produced and compiled by country teams and published annually by UNAIDS and WHO. Standard methods and tools for HIV estimates that are appropriate to the pattern of the HIV epidemic are used . However, to obtain the best possible estimates, judgment needs to be used as to the quality of the data and how representative it is of the population.
