Regional Action Plan for HIV in South-East Asia (2017-2021)

The South-East Asia Regional Action Plan (RAP) for HIV (2017–2021) provides a clear vision of “zero new infections, zero HIV-related deaths, and zero discrimination” and a goal of “Ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030”. The action plan has targets of reducing new infections to 51 000 and AIDS related deaths to 43 000 annually and increasing the number of people living with HIV on ART to 2.9 million by 2020. It promotes a people-centred approach and is grounded in principles of human rights and health equity.
