2) Estimate the prevalence of HIV at the national and regional level
3) Assess progress towards the UNAIDS 95- 95- 95 targets at the national and regional level
The secondary objectives of the survey are to:
1) Estimate the HIV incidence at the national level
2) Estimate the prevalence of HIV-related risk behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes
3) Establish the behavioural and demographic determinants of HIV prevalence and incidence
4) Determine the exposure to, uptake of and barriers to access to HIV-related services
5) Estimate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and obesity among the general population and people living with HIV
6) Assess the facilitators of and barriers to viral load suppression among people living with HIV on ART in two regions with the lowest VLS, based on the UPHIA 2020-21 survey findings.
