Although many countries are now collecting useful, high-quality HIV surveillance data, more efforts are put into the collection of data than into ensuring it is deployed effectively. The Canada-Pakistan HIV/AIDS surveillance project has strengthened and expanded the existing national AIDS control programme surveillance system in Pakistan through a comprehensive estimate of the size and location of some of the most at-risk populations (sex workers and injection drug users) and annual assessments of their sociodemographic characteristics, behaviours and HIV prevalence. The country now uses second generation surveillance data at a broad level to lobby for policy change, mobilize resources, improve programming and measure the success of prevention through an integrated national effort. This article aims to share the experiences and lessons learnt in the development of a second generation surveillance system for HIV/AIDS in Pakistan.
尽管现在许多国家都在收集有用的、高质量的艾滋病毒监测数据，但在数据收集方面的投入超过了确保数据有效利用的投入。加拿大-巴基斯坦艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测项目通过对一些高危人群（性工作者和注射吸毒者）的规模和所在地的全面估计，以及对其社会人口特征、行为和艾滋病毒流行率的年度评估，加强和扩大了巴基斯坦现有的国家艾滋病控制规划监测系统。该国现在利用第二代监测数据在广泛的层面上进行游说以推动政策变革、调动资源、改进规划并通过国家综合努力衡量预防的成功。本文旨在分享在开发巴基斯坦第二代艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统方面的经验和教训。
