Dear FORUM,

e_Consultation on Asian AIDS Commission Report: " Redefining AIDS in

Asia – Crafting an effective response " , (2008, June 30th to September

30th)

Q1) Redefining the epidemic, and why Asia HIV epidemic is unique. The

Report argues that the " standard classification of `low-

level', `concentrated' or `generalised' based on the HIV prevalence

in pregnant women does not capture the actual nature and dynamics of

Asia's epidemics. " The Commission on AIDS in Asia instead proposes

four epidemic scenarios for Asia : latent, expanding, mature, and

declining (pages 53-54, table 2.1; pages 65-70) and links a proposed

package of prevention interventions with the most impact for each

scenario.

How can one take this finding forward in India and how might one

advocate for how government should invest their resources?

A free electronic version of the full report is available form the

following url or from the moderator of the discussion
