HIV Monitoring Report – Measuring progress against the National HIV Action Plan for Aotearoa New Zealand 2023–2030

The HIV Monitoring Report tracks key goals and targets for reducing transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and improving outcomes by 2030, as measured by 52 indicators aligned with the five strategic goals of the National HIV Action Plan for Aotearoa New Zealand 2023–2030 (HIV Action Plan).

Key goals tracked by the HIV Monitoring Report are:

• reduced number of new locally acquired HIV infections
• improved Māori health and wellbeing in relation to HIV by delivering on our Tiriti o Waitangi obligations
• decreased mortality and the negative consequences of HIV on health and wellbeing
• decreased experiences of stigma and discrimination for people living with HIV
• increased equity in relation to all HIV goals and objectives.

The HIV Monitoring Report tracks progress towards global targets that UNAIDS has set for 2030. Those targets are:

• a 90% reduction in locally acquired infections compared with the 2010 baseline
• 95% of people who are at risk of HIV use combination prevention
• 95% of people living with HIV know their HIV status
• 95% of people who are notified with HIV are on treatment
• 95% of people who are on HIV treatment have viral suppression (meaning the level of the virus in their blood is low; this both protects their health and virtually eliminates the risk of transmission).
