【报告摘要】:
Ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a goal born from over 30 years of devastation, struggle, and loss, and contains within it hope and promise for those affected. Countries need to use powerful tools, hold one another accountable for results and make sure that no one is left behind. The modeling tools produced by UNAIDS have been used by most countries in the world to generate HIV epidemic estimates that determine their policy and resource allocation. However, despite great progress in some countries, where data is more readily available, some sub-populations and areas that are more difficult to gather data from are left behind. Inaccurate estimates can lead to mis-targeted interventions and resources. I will take my experience of HIV/AIDS epidemic study as an example to illustrate some challenges of quantitative analysis in global health.
