Global AIDS Monitoring 2019
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to national AIDS programmes and partners on the use of indicators to measure and report on the country response. The 2016 United Nations Political Declaration on Ending AIDS, adopted at the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS in June 2016, mandated UNAIDS to support countries in reporting on the commitments in the Political Declaration. The Political Declaration on Ending AIDS built on three previous political declarations: the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, the 2006 Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS and the 2011 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS.
HIV/AIDS and Young People
The publication highlights that what happens to young people today will determine what becomes of their communities and societies in the decades ahead, as well as highlights concerns for the future.

HIV-related stigma and discrimination and human rights violations constitute great barriers to preventing HIV infection; providing care, support and treatment; and alleviating the impacts of the epidemic. This publication documents case studies of successful action in different countries addressing HIV-related human rights violations, stigma and discrimination.
The AIDS Pandemic

The authors examine the global impact of this momentous transition, portray the current status of the global response to AIDS, and explore the precarious situation that WHO finds itself in today a...
AIDS at 30
The volume describes the worldwide state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and possible ways forward. Marking the 30 years of AIDS, the report takes stock of the changes occurred in the AIDS epidemic and responses since the condition was first diagnosed in 1981. It also features commentaries from 15 leaders in the global AIDS response, including South Africa's President Jacob Zuma, former United States President Bill Clinton, former President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, singer Angelique Kidjo and former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. It covers a wide range of areas, including the results achieved by HIV prevention efforts, the record number of people starting lifesaving treatment and the decline in resources for HIV. It also draws attention to the significant challenges remaining such as the gender inequalities and the increasing HIV prevalence among key populations at higher risk of infection.
HIV/AIDS Stand Up for Human Rights
This cartoon, launched by the United Nations Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Joint Program for HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and the World Health Organization (WHO), is designed to empower young people to promote human rights in relation to HIV/AIDS, to raise awareness of the key linkages between HIV/AIDS and human rights, to demystify the disease and to combat the myths and taboos associated with HIV and AIDS.
The Private Sector Responds to the Epidemic
On cover: UNAIDS case study. - Dated September 2002
Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 6)
Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.
A Joint Response to HIV/AIDS
As the main advocate for global action on HIV/AIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads, strengthens and supports an expanded response aimed at preventing transmission of HIV, providing care and support reducing the vulnerability of individuals and communities to HIV/AIDS, and alleviating the impact of the epidemic around the world. This pamphlet outlines the activities and program of UNAIDS and its eight Cosponsors in supporting a more effective global response to AIDS. It does so through advocacy and leadership; dissemination of strategic information; tracking monitoring and evaluation of the epidemic and responses to it; civil society engagement and partnership development; and the mobilization of resources. Also described are UNAIDS' successes and achievements in helping countries harness and strengthen the expertise needed to implement proven strategies to combat HIV/AIDS.
