HIV Epidemiology
This section provides links to publications about the epidemiology of HIV in individual countries as well as regional and global perspectives. Ternyata director Elizabeth Pisani contributed to all of these publications, which include papers in peer reviewed journals and UN agency reports.
Country specific HIV-related publications
HIV risk in Karachi and Lahore, Pakistan: an emerging epidemic in injecting and commercial sex networks (.pdf 191 kb)
Asma Bokhari, Naseer M Nizamani et al. International Journal of STD & AIDS 2007; 18: 486–492
HIV, STI and risk behaviour surveys in two cities in Pakistan. The paper describes rapidly rising HIV rates among drug injectors, and some infection in male, female and transgendered sex workers and truck drivers. Condom use was low in all groups, and HIV prevention services were negligible.
http://www.ternyata.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/pakistan_hiv.pdf
“HIV/AIDS in China: Beyond the Numbers is a fascinating account of how the AIDS epidemic forced these leaders into action. … This book offers a vivid history of China’s response to HIV from the pathogen’s emergence until the present, and it joins the relatively thin ranks of books that offer first-person accounts of important eras in public health. This is a must-read book for anyone interested in HIV, infectious diseases more generally, or global health.” (Kristin Harper, Science, December, Vol. 354 (6318), 2016)
Fan L, Ning W, Wu ZY et al. Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2006 82: iii87 – iii92
Description of the process by which the number of injection drug users, sex workers, clients of sex workers and men who have sex with men in China was estimated. Estimates for the number living with HIV are also described. The results were significantly lower than previous estimates: this paper explains why.

Basing policy on evidence: low HIV, STIs and risk behaviour in Dili, East Timor argue for more focused interventions (.pdf 168 kb)
Pisani E, Purnomo H, Sutrisna A et al. Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2006 Feb;82(1):88-93
When East Timor became independent, many assumptions were made about the threat of an extensive HIV epidemic. This paper described the first attempt to measure levels of risk behaviour, sexually transmitted infections and HIV among those most at risk, including female sex workers, their clients and men who have sex with men. The study found low levels of infection and risk; the paper argues that donor and government money would be better invested tackling more pressing problems such as low immunisation rates and lack of reproductive health services.

Pisani E, Girault P, Gultom M, et al., Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2004; 80: 536 – 540
The first comprehensive study of risk behaviour, HIV and syphilis among three distinct groups of males who have anal sex in Jakarta found extremely high levels of infection among transgender sex workers, and lower levels of infection but considerable risk of exposure to HIV and other STIs among male sex workers and gay men in the Indonesian capital. The paper makes recommendations for interventions for all three groups; most of these have since been successfully

Pisani, E., Dadun et al. Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2003; 34(4): 403-406
Until the late 1990s, some influential epidemiologists believed that HIV epidemics driven by drug injection were unlikely to “cross over” into other populations because drug injectors are not very sexually active. This paper describes extremely high levels of unprotected sex, including commercial sex, among young drug injectors in Indonesia.

Girault P, Saidel T, Ngak Song et al. AIDS Education and Prevention, 2004. 16(1):31-44
The first comprehensive study of HIV and STIs among men who have sex with men in the Cambodian capital. The paper describes high levels of HIV and STI infection among men who sell sex and transgenders, and provides evidence that HIV has spread from the highly-infected female sex worker population into the MSM population through men who have sex with both men and women.

Evaluation of the World Bank’s Assistance in Responding to the AIDS Epidemic: Indonesia Case Study ( .pdf 476 kb)
World Bank Operations Evaluation Department
A critical appraisal of the World Bank’s response to HIV in Indonesia. This document, commissioned by the World Bank’s internal evaluation department, investigates what was known of the epidemiology of HIV in Indonesia at the time of a World Bank loan to the country in the mid 1990s. It concludes that the facts did not justify the lending, and finds that lack of technical support and management oversight led to the failure of the loan, which was eventually withdrawn.

Evaluation of the World Bank’s Assistance in Responding to the AIDS Epidemic: Indonesia Case Study ( .pdf 290 kb)
Indonesian National AIDS Commission, Jakarta, 2002
Second report on the national HIV situation in Indonesia. This includes significantly more behavioural surveillance data than previously reported, and makes a clear call for a response that is more appropriately targeted at the behaviours driving the local epidemic, in particular drug injection and commercial sex.

A report that brings together behavioural and biological surveillance data.about HIV and associated risk in Bangladesh for the first time. The report indicates that high levels of risk behaviour provide fertile ground for potentially rapid growth of HIV despite current low levels of prevalence.

Comparing the early HIV prevention success of Uganda with the growing epidemic in neighbouring Kenya, this chapter suggests that the willingness of a strong leader to impose aggressive prevention measures and to seek support from the church and other sectors in Uganda contributed greatly to the country’s better outcome.
The United States Responds to the Global AIDS Pandemic (.pdf 223 kb)
SYNERGY/USAID, Washington 2001
Commissioned by the National Security Council, this document analyses the goals of the U.S. and international response to HIV/AIDS, and looks at concrete targets needed to meet those goals. It examines resource requirements, and points to massive gaps in the understanding of the relationships between programme costs, coverage and impact.

AIDS in Asia: Face the Facts (.pdf 2.14 Mb)
Monitoring the AIDS Pandemic, Bangkok, 2004
Prepared on behalf of the MAP network, and association of epidemiologists working independently of institutional affiliations, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of trends in HIV infection and the behaviours that drive it in Asia. Based on published and unpublished data, the report argues that there is evidence that programmes providing appropriate services to a high proportion of the drug injectors, men who have sex with men and men and women who buy and sell sex will effectively stem the epidemic in Asia.

The diversity of HIV epidemics in the Latin American and the Caribbean is often glossed over in wider global reports. This document focuses on the different epidemic dynamics in the region, and highlights some of the information gaps that stand in the way of planning for effective HIV prevention and care. It makes policy recommendations to meet future challenges. Published by the MAP network.

An opinion paper based on analysis of HIV transmission patterns and risk behaviour in East and Southern Africa. The paper argues that the chain of infection is perpetuated by older men who infect young women premaritally. These women then go on to infect partners, including husbands, closer to their own age.
