DATA IDENTIFICATION


Name
Number of newly confirmed cases of HIV/AIDS by risk group exposure category and age group (SDG 3.3.1)
Indicator purpose

The purpose of this indicator is to provide a measure of progress toward preventing onward transmission of HIV.

Abstract

This indicator measures the number of new HIV infections per 1,000 uninfected population, by sex, age and risk group exposure category as defined as the number of newly confirmed HIV infections per 1000 person-years among the uninfected population.

Data source

Ministry of Health

Unit of measure

Number of new HIV diagnoses per 1,000 population.

Other characteristics

The incidence rate provides a measure of progress toward preventing onward transmission of HIV.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

HIV is the virus that weakens the immune system, ultimately leading to AIDS. HIV incidence (sometimes referred to as cumulative incidence) is the number of new cases arising in a given period in a specified population. UNAIDS normally refers to the number of adults aged 15-49 years or children (aged 0–14 years) who have become infected during the past year.

Disaggregation

Disaggregation is by general population, risk group exposure category, age groups (0-14, 15-24, 15-49, 50+ years), sex (male, female, both).

Key statistical concepts

Special diagnostic tests in surveys or from health facilities can be used to obtain data on HIV incidence. HIV incidence is thus modelled using the Spectrum software.
