HIV/AIDS Statistics and the Census

Introduction

Global HIV/AIDS programming, in particular, the effort to attain epidemic control within this decade, has been successful in large part because it has been data-driven. Resources have been directed to countries based on the need to focus investments in geographic areas and populations with the greatest HIV/AIDS burden. The information being used for decision-making in these efforts relies heavily on data coming from population and housing censuses (PHCs). This makes a high-quality census imperative to data-driven HIV/AIDS programming and reaching UNAIDS Fast-Track targets (UNAIDS, 2018). Further, census data are critical as the basis for other large-scale household surveys that provide fine-grained information on various determinants of HIV and other health outcomes.
