Zimbabwe Population: 14.5 million 2015 UNAIDS HIV prevalence: 14.7% among 15-49 year olds HIV treatment is free for Zimbabweans HIV treatment eligibility 2013: CD4<500 cells/µL December 2016: Treat all
Objective ZIMPHIA conducted October 2015-August 2016 to assess national HIV incidence and the 90-90-90 cascade at a subnational level To describe the 90-90-90 cascade among 15-64 year olds in Zimbabwe and correlates of being outside each level of the cascade (or, being in the 10-10-10 cascade)
METHODS
Sampling Method Two-stage cluster-based nationally representative household survey using population-proportional to size within strata Stage 1: 500 enumeration areas across 10 strata Stage 2: 15,009 households
Data Collection Household and individual interview HIV-related testing Rapid testing with: Determine, First Response (confirmation), Stat-Pak (tie breaker) Results returned same day Laboratory: Geenius for quality assurance Viral load with Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan platform Results returned to health facility in participant’s district after ~10 weeks
Analytic Methods Data weighted for survey design and non-response Multivariate models: p<0.10 in bivariate analysis p<0.05 in multivariate analysis Variables considered: age, gender, urban/rural, province, education, marital status, condom use last sex 12 months, number sex partners last 12 months, sold sex last 12 months
Outcome Measures First 10: HIV-infected and unaware of HIV status Second 10: Aware of HIV infection but not on treatment Third 10: On treatment but not virally suppressed All outcomes measures save for viral suppression were self-reported

Number of people aged 15-64 years not reached 311,000 people not aware of their HIV status 422,000 people not on treatment 465,000 people not virally suppressed
Limitations and next steps Relies on self-reported awareness and treatment status Proportion not virally suppressed includes people who may have just started treatment and would not be suppressed yet Next steps: Test specimens for presence of antiretroviral medications Explore interactions between key variables Examine reasons for being in the 10-10-10 cascade Estimate population attributable risks
Conclusions Males, people <45 years of age, the never married or divorced/separated, those not using condoms at last sex in 12 months, and those with 2+ sex partners in last 12 months were most likely not to be reaching UNAIDS goals Factors should be carefully considered when developing policies and services Results provide a valuable baseline for impact of treat all
