Global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections for the period 2022-2030 guide the health sector in implementing strategically focused responses to achieve the goals of ending AIDS, viral hepatitis B and C and sexually transmitted infections by 2030. The 2022-2030 strategies recommend shared and disease-specific country actions supported by actions by the World Health Organization and partners. They consider the epidemiological, technological, and contextual shifts of recent years, foster learnings across the disease areas, and create opportunities to leverage innovations and new knowledge for effective responses to HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections. The strategies call for a precise focus to reach the people most affected and at risk for each disease that addresses inequities. They promote synergies under a universal health coverage and primary health care framework and contribute to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Seventy-Fifth World Health Assembly requested progress reports on the implementation of the strategies in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031, noting that the 2026 report will provide a mid-term review based on the progress made in meeting the strategies’ 2025 targets.

In 2022, WHO published the Consolidated guidelines on HIV, viral hepatitis and STI prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for key populations. These guidelines outline a public health response to HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for five key populations (men who have sex with men, sex workers, people in prisons and other closed settings, people who inject drugs and trans and gender diverse people). In this policy brief, we give an update on those parts of the guidelines which are relevant for sex workers.

"This guide sets out basic principles, processes and steps relating to strategic and operational planning for the health sector response to HIV. It takes into account recent developments in understanding the response of the health sector to HIV and in significance of national health strategies. The guide should be complemented by other tools on specific aspects of HIV strategic and operational planning developed by WHO, UNAIDS, the World Bank and other technical partners. The Guide is intended to be used by and for individuals and entities involved in planning and managing the response of the health sector to the HIV epidemic. It is primarily aimed at national level planning, but can also be used for other levels such as regional/province or district. The audience includes Ministries of Health, other government sectors, nongovernmental organizations, private sector, academic institutions and other civil society organizations. The Guide will also be of value to donors and international organizations which provide financial and technical support for HIV/AIDS programmes." - p. 5

Triple elimination of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) requires a person- centred service delivery approach that meets the needs of and supports the rights of women, newborns, children and families and requires building cross-programmatic efficiencies that leverage and strengthen existing platforms for HIV, syphilis and HBV prevention, testing, treatment and care. With the recent release of guidance for validation of triple elimination and the 2023 guidance on country validation of viral hepatitis elimination and the path to elimination, WHO and partners have developed an accompanying 4 pillars framework for triple elimination implementation. The new framework will guide efforts to expand the focus of service delivery from elimination of MTCT of HIV to triple elimination of HIV, syphilis and HBV. The 4 pillars are: 1. Primary prevention of infection and vertical transmission; 2. SRH linkages and integration; 3. Essential maternal EMTCT services; and 4. Infant, child and partner services.
