The Long-Run Costs and Financing of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia

in

How can Cambodia best fight its HIV/AIDS epidemic? This report examines the long-term costs and epidemiological projections of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia.

Cambodia has made exceptional progress in addressing HIV/AIDS since it first appeared in the country in 1991. At the height of the epidemic in the early 1990s, approximately 15,500 people were becoming newly infected annually. Since then, Cambodia has greatly reduced the number of new infections – to about 2,100 in 2009. In addition, 93% percent of those eligible to receive antiretroviral therapy are currently in treatment.

aids2031: Costs and Financing Working Group

in

aids2031 is a international consortium of partners examining the future of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

At the same time, the price tag to respond fully and effectively in the areas of prevention, care and treatment, mitigation, and research has grown to tens of billions of dollars, and is continuing to increase. There have been dramatic increases in funding, but available resources are now becoming increasingly tight as the global recession adversely impacts both donor and developing countries, and as other competing priorities (e.g.
