HIV program funding needs, contributions and determinants, for 84 low- and middle-income countries in US$ per person living with HIV (PLWH), unless indicated: median (and inter-quartile range) across countries.

ART is antiretroviral treatment. GNI is gross national income. MRY: most recent year is 2009, 2008 or 2007. PEPFAR is the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. PLWH is person living with HIV/AIDS; pc is per capita. Resource needs per prevalent case for ART and non-ART do not exactly add to total HIV Resource Need, because these are medians, not means.
Of PEPFAR’s 15 initial focus countries, Guyana, Ethiopia, Haiti and Tanzania were not included in our analysis because of insufficient data on predictor variables. For Egypt, the resource need estimate used excludes an implausibly high HIV counseling and testing (HCT) cost line item in the UNAIDS Investment Framework, which would imply a total national resource need of over $1.4 billion, to instead assume a more plausible $39.4 million total need. For the estimated gap, we used the maximum between expected domestic contribution and actual domestic contribution within each country.
