Characteristics of simulated modelled HIV programmatic scenarios at t0

Median (90% range) over programmatic scenarios
HIV prevalence (age 15–65 years) 18% (14–22)

HIV incidence (per 100 person-years) 1·1 (0·7–1·6)

People starting ART
 NNRTI resistance* 11% (5–22)
 NNRTI resistance, excluding women who previously took antiretroviral drugs for prevention of mother-to-child transmission* 11% (4–22)
 Any resistance, excluding women who previously took antiretroviral drugs for prevention of mother-to-child transmission and resistance* 12% (5–24)

New HIV infections
 With transmitted drug resistance* 29% (12–49)
 With NNRTI resistance* 26% (11–46)

HIV-positive people
 Diagnosed 84% (80–86)
 Started on ART 54% (42–62)
 Currently on ART 46% (34–54)

People in need of ART, according to criteria for need of ART based on CD4 count <350 cells per μL
 On ART 60% (47–68)
 Ever started ART 73% (61–79)

People in need of ART, according to criteria for need of ART based on CD4 count <500 cells per μL
 On ART 51% (39–60)
 Ever started ART 63% (50–70)

Of people remaining on ART 1 year after starting ART, proportion with viral suppression 69% (42–83)

Of people on ART, proportion with viral suppression 76% (54–85)

Of people on ART, proportion now on second-line (bPI) regimen 8% (6–11)

Of all people with HIV, proportion with unsuppressed viral load 63% (53–81)
 Of all people with unsuppressed viral load, proportion with resistance*§ 23% (13–39)

People with fewer than three fully active drugs when starting ART 14% (6–28)

Data are median proportion (90% range), unless otherwise stated. 5000 programmatic scenarios were generated. ART=antiretroviral treatment. bPI=ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor. NNRTI=non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

*

In the majority virus.

<500 copies per mL.

Irrespective of whether diagnosed and in care. The number of adults alive in 2017 in the population is a median of 36 500 (90% range 35 500–37 500).

§

Whether diagnosed or not.

A drug was not fully active if a resistance mutation to that drug was present in the minority or majority virus.
