National Strategic Framework: 2006-2010
The plan is accompanied by a costed operational plan with targets, 2006-2008, which is updated periodically throughout the framework’s duration.
Situation Report (UNAIDS 2006):
The national adult prevalence of HIV infection is between 1% to 2%. Myanmar is thus characterized as having a "generalized" epidemic. However, the spread of the HIV infection across the country is heterogenous varying widely by geographical location and by population sub group.
The spread of HIV infection in Myanmar continues to increase. Among military recruits tested in Yangoon and Mandalay, the prevalence of HIV infection has increased from 0.5% in 1992 to 1.4% in 2000, to 2.09% in 2003. Among blood donors, HIV prevalence has consistently increased from 0.3% in1992, to 1% in 2000, to 1.23% in 2003. The prevalence among ANC women was 2% and 0.5% in Yangoon and Mandalay, respectively in 2003 and has remained somewhat constant over the past five years in these major urban areas. Outside major urban areas, the median HIV prevalence in 2003 was 1% with a range of nil to 7.5%.
Among IDUs, the median HIV prevalence in six sentinel sites in 2003 was 48%, ranging from 23% to 77%. Among commercial sex workers the HIV prevalence in Yangoon and Mandalay was 33% and 53.6% respectively in 2003. Among male and female STD patients, median HIV prevalence in the same year was 6% and 12.55%, respectively.
