The Pacific Regional Strategy and Implementation Plan 2009-2013, (PRSIP II) has been the backbone of control initiatives in Pacific Islands Countries and Territories (PICTs) in the last five years to mitigate HIV and other STIs. Over the period, several PRSIP related objectives were carried out nationally in Tonga and cross-nationally by regional partners in PICTs. Majority of these interventions were jointly funded by the Response Fund (2009-2013) and Global Fund Round 7 (2008-2013).

Typical of the pattern seen elsewhere in Asia, the epidemic in Philippines began with explosive growth of HIV among people who inject drugs (PWID); in Cebu, HIV prevalence in male PWID increased from 0.8% in 2005 to 52.4% in 2013. Recent surveillance indicates that HIV is spreading from Cebu to the neighbouring city of Mandaue, where prevalence has increased from 0% in 2009 to 42.3% in 2013 (IHBSS 2005 to 2013).
