Book excerpt: Measuring HIV prevention programmes against health outcomes (such as individuals remaining HIV-negative or new HIV infections) can be challenging. This is because HIV prevention interventions can be started and stopped according to an individual’s need. Therefore, as with all other areas of the HIV response, data from multiple sources are necessary to obtain a full picture of HIV prevention service availability, access and coverage. Recent WHO guidelines focus on using routine programmatic data to track the delivery and potential impact of HIV prevention services. Routine programmatic data from prevention services also can be used to identify individuals who may be at elevated risk of HIV acquisition and so may benefit most from prevention interventions. In addition, this data can be used to follow up on whether interventions were received, and to identify and address potential barriers to accessing these services.
