Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the success of her Department's efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa through the aid progamme; and if she will make a statement.

In November 2013 the Department for International Development published a review of the UK’s 2011 HIV position paper, “Towards Zero Infections-Two Years On”. This paper provides an assessment of progress against key results, including in Africa where the majority of our HIV programmes are, to help DFID learn lessons and reassess its priorities to 2015.

We have been making good progress against our expected results. Treatment related commitments have already been achieved, and the remaining targets set out in the HIV position paper are on track to be met by 2015.
