a The WHO/UNAIDS Working Group on Surveillance and Estimates generates estimates for number of people living with HIV/AIDS, adult prevalence rate and annual deaths from AIDS using Spectrum software.
b The estimated total number needing antiretroviral therapy is based on the estimated two-year mortality plus 80% of those currently receiving treatment.
c Cambodia has estimated the number of people living with HIV/AIDS as 157500 and antiretroviral therapy need as 22000 based on calculations by the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD (NCHADS).
d For India, the current number of people on antiretroviral therapy need is an average between an independent coverage survey and the country profile data.
e For India, the declared antiretroviral therapy target refers to the country’s commitment to begin treatment in April 2004 but not to a specific target date of the end of 2005.
f The Russian Federation has estimated the need for antiretroviral therapy to be 139 000 based on calculations made by their Federal AIDS Center.
g Ukraine’s country-declared target is for March 2005.
h Most of the difference between the 187 505 people receiving antiretroviral therapy reported for the 49 focus countries and the global number of 440 000 in developing and transitional countries is Brazil, where 140000 people are receiving treatment.
