Summary:   The UNAIDS/WHO Global HIV/AIDS Online Database collates the most recent country-specific data on the spread and impact of the virus, together with information on risk behaviours (e.g. casual sex and condom use). Health sector response information (eg. data on people receiving treatment and coverage of hiv counselling and testing) is also an essential part of this database.
 
Description:   Through information on demography and socioeconomic conditions are the analysis and interpretation of data further supported .

The Epidemiological Fact Sheets on HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections formed the base from which this site was developed. They are still accessible and can now be selected by topic.

The database contains a wealth of information which allows identification of strengths in currently existing programmes and comparisons between countries and regions.
