Annual Report 2006 (National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD, Cambodia)

The HIV Serosurveillance survey (HSS) 2003 found a 1.9% HIV prevalence among adults aged 15-49 years. Using HSS 2003 figures, it was estimated that 123,000 adults were living with HIV/AIDS including 57,000 women and that an estimated 9,000 children were living with HIV in 2003. The HSS round IX was conducted from November 2006 to February 2007. HSS 2006-2007 HIV prevalence estimates will be calibrated with the CDHS 2005-2006 HIV prevalence estimates in a consensus workshop that will be held at NCHADS in April 2007. The output of this expert consultation will include updated official estimates of HIV prevalence among the general population of adults and children, and estimates of the number of adults and children in need of ART.

After reaching the 3 by 5 targets in 2005, Cambodia has committed to further strengthen its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and reach Universal Access by 2010.
