Lebanon

Our project reads the statistical bulletins of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health for 2007, 2009 and 2014 to 2018. The bulletins give the HIV cases notified to the National AIDS Program of the ministry in every year, AIDS cases included, by sex for 2007 and 2014 to 2018, and the people newly started on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 2014 to 2017. A bulletin enters the panel only where the stages of disease and the sexes sum to the printed total, and where every printed percentage matches the count over the total. The bulletins for 2010, 2011 and 2013 count cases up to November and are not read, and no bulletin states whether the counts cover residents of other nationalities.

Disbursements reported for the country. Only the OECD CRS record is available for the country, so the two independent records of United States disbursements cannot be compared in the figure.

Modelled estimates. The shaded area is the published uncertainty interval around the number of people living with HIV, because a single estimate without the interval would overstate the precision of the model.

Every line is a percentage of all people living with HIV, so the three lines share a denominator and can be compared directly. Viral suppression in the figure is the share of all people living with HIV who are virally suppressed, and not the narrower third 95 target, which counts only people on treatment.
