HIV/AIDS treatment and care in Belarus (2014)

2014 An evaluation of HIV/AIDS treatment and care was performed from the perspective of the WHO/UNAIDS Treatment 2.0 Framework which indicates five priority areas: optimize drug regimens, provide access to point-of-care diagnostics, reduce costs, adapt delivery systems and mobilize communities.

The evaluation builds on a desk review and a country mission which took place from 11-14 November 2013 in Minsk, Belarus.

A specific focus was also on HIV testing practices as an entry point for HIV treatment and care and on vulnerable groups and access to treatment and care. Also the sustainability of programmes was reviewed in light of the current and future international and national available funding schemes.
