  1. PEPFAR Plansfor Initiating ART andProviding Laboratory ServicesTedd V. Ellerbrock, MD, FACOGGlobal AIDS ProgramCenters for Disease Control and Prevention

  2. Goals of PEPFAR During a 5-year period, the goals of PEPFAR are • To treat at least 2 million HIV-infected people with antiretroviral therapy (ART) • To prevent 7 million new HIV infections, which is about 60% of the projected new infections in the 14 participating countries • To care for 10 million HIV-affected individuals and AIDS orphans

  3. Goals of PEPFAR During a 5-year period, the goals of PEPFAR are: • To treat at least 2 million HIV-infected people with antiretroviral therapy (ART) • To prevent 7 million new HIV infections, which is about 60% of the projected new infections in the 14 participating countries • To care for 10 million HIV-affected individuals and AIDS orphans

  4. PEPFAR Plans for Initiating ARTand Providing Laboratory Services If we plan to initiate ART and provide lab services for 2 million HIV-infected persons, we need to address several important questions and develop a consensus about what are the best answers to these questions

  5. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #1 What are the major factors that will determine how many HIV- infected persons will be treated through PEPFAR?

  6. Major Factors that will Determine How Many HIV- infected Persons will be Treated through PEPFAR • Goal of PEPFAR – treat at least 2 million with ART • Funding of PEPFAR – $10 billion over 5 years • Need – 20 million HIV-infected persons live in the 14 PEPFAR countries and at least 3 million (15%) of these qualify for ART • Feasibility – if we receive the funding, determining how many persons we can feasibly treat with ART will probably not be an option because those who are not treated are at risk of serious illness and death

  7. Major Factors that will Determine How Many HIV- infected Persons will be Treated through PEPFAR • Goal of PEPFAR – treat at least 2 million with ART • Funding of PEPFAR – $10 billion over 5 years • Need – 20 million HIV-infected persons live in the 14 PEPFAR countries and at least 3 million (15%) of these qualify for ART • Feasibility – if we receive the funding, determining how many persons we can feasibly treat with ART will probably not be an option because those who are not treated are at risk of serious illness and death

  8. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #1 What are the major factors that will determine how many HIV- infected persons will be treated through PEPFAR? Response The major factors that will determine how many persons will be treated through PEPFAR are probably the goals of PEPFAR, the funding for PEPFAR, and the need for ART; stating that a goal is not feasible may not be an option.

  9. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #2 If we initiate ART for 2 million persons during the next 5 years, how many persons should we start on ART during the first year of PEPFAR?

  10. Number of HIV-infected Persons Who Need to be Started on ART Annually during the Next 5 Years

  11. Number of HIV-infected Persons Who Need to be Started on ART Annually during the Next 5 Years 200,000 – during the first year 300,000 – during the second year 400,000 – during the third year 500,000 – during the fourth year 600,000 – during the fifth year 2,000,000 – total during 5 years

  12. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #2 If we initiate ART for 2 million persons during the next 5 years, how many persons should we start on ART during the first year of PEPFAR? Response If we initiate ART for 2 million persons during the next 5 years, we estimate that about 200,000 will have to be started on ART during the first year of PEPFAR

  13. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #3 How can we initiate ART for 200,000 HIV-infected persons during the first year of PEPFAR?

  14. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR Need to address issues related to: • Clinical care • Drugs and health commodities • Laboratory support • Training • Community mobilization • Monitoring and evaluation

  15. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR For laboratory support, we need to decide which of the following services we can provide: • HIV diagnostics • Hematology • Chemistries • CD4+ counts • Viral loads • Diagnosis of OIs • Diagnosis of malaria • Diagnosis of TB • Diagnosis of STIs • Pediatric HIV diagnostics

  16. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR For each laboratory service, we need to need to address issues related to: • Training • Infrastructure • Equipment and supplies • Quality assurance • Information systems

  17. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #3 How can we initiate ART for 200,000 HIV-infected persons during the first year of PEPFAR? Response To initiate ART for 200,000 HIV-infected persons during the first year of PEPFAR, we will probably have to provide only essential laboratory services in at least some settings

  18. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #4 What laboratory services are essential for initiating ART for 200,000 persons during the first year of PEPFAR?

  19. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR Essential Laboratory Services for the First Year of PEPFAR (in order of priority) • HIV diagnostics • Diagnosis of TB • Diagnosis of malaria • CD4+ counts • Chemistries

  20. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR Essential Laboratory Services for Large Urban Hospitals during the First Year of PEPFAR • HIV diagnostics • Diagnosis of TB • Diagnosis of malaria • CD4+ counts

  21. Plan for Initiating ART for 200,000 Persons during First Year of PEPFAR Essential Laboratory Services for District Hospitals during the First Year of PEPFAR • HIV diagnostics • Diagnosis of TB • Diagnosis of malaria

  22. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #4 What laboratory services are essential for initiating ART for 200,000 persons during the first year of PEPFAR? Response In some settings, diagnostics for HIV, TB, and malaria may be the only laboratory services that we can provide during the first year of PEPFAR

  23. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #5 How can we develop a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR?

  24. Strategic Plan for Laboratory Services during the First Year of PEPFAR For the services listed below, we could suggest objectives for each of 2 types of clinical settings (for example, for large urban and district hospitals) and make recommendations about how best to achieve these objectives: • HIV diagnostics • Hematology • Chemistries • CD4+ counts • Viral loads • Diagnosis of OIs • Diagnosis of malaria • Diagnosis of TB • Diagnosis of STIs • Pediatric HIV diagnostics

  25. Strategic Plan for Laboratory Services during the First Year of PEPFAR • During this meeting, the work groups could develop first year objectives for 2-3 services for 2 types of clinical settings and make recommendations about how best to achieve these objectives • The objectives and recommendations could be reviewed and discussed during the work group presentations on the second day of the meeting • After the meeting, the objectives and recommendations could be compiled into a strategic plan for providing laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR

  26. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #5 How can we develop a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR? Response We can use the work groups during this meeting to develop a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR

  27. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #6 How can we help to implement a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR?

  28. Strategic Plan for Laboratory Services during the First Year of PEPFAR • By March 31, 2004, USG staff in each PEPFAR country has been asked to submit a country plan for the first year of PEPFAR • In consultation with in-country USG staff, we could organize a lab team to assist each PEPFAR country prepare the country plan for laboratory sevices for the first year of PEPFAR • The lab teams could use the strategic lab plan for the first year, developed initially at this meeting, as guidance when preparing the country plans

  31. Questions that Need to be Answered to Initiate ART for 2 Million Persons Question #6 How can we help to implement a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR? Response We can help implement a strategic plan for laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR by using lab teams to help countries prepare their country plans for the first year during January – March 2004

  32. Summary • To treat at least 2 million HIV-infected people with ART during 5 years, we will probably need to initiate ART for about 200,000 persons during the first year of PEPFAR • To initiate ART for 200,000 persons during the first year, we need to develop plans for providing laboratory services during the first year of PEPFAR • This meeting offers a unique opportunity to begin preparing a strategic laboratory plan that can be used to prepare country plans for the first year of PEPFAR
