In light of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, there have been a myriad of donor programs for developing countries that are targeting the supply and use of HIV/AIDS pharmaceuticals and other commodities.

At the same time, the knowledge base for HIV/AIDS medicines is continually growing and changing. New developments are constantly made in areas such as—

  • Prices and availability of new therapeutic agents
  • Recommended prevention and treatment guidelines
  • Adverse effects and other medication use-related experiences associated with HIV/AIDS treatment

It is critical that this dynamic base of information be effectively catalogued, monitored, and shared so that policy makers and program managers in donor organizations, developing countries, and international support groups are able to make the most appropriate policies and decisions relating to program funding and implementation.

It is within this context that the HIV/AIDS Commodities Tracking Tool (CTT) was developed. The intent is to make information related to the provision and use of HIV/AIDS-related commodities, including pharmaceuticals, more accessible.

This Web-based tool tracks funds requested and expended on HIV/AIDS-related pharmaceuticals and other commodities. It also tracks the quantities of pharmaceuticals arriving in countries (including donated products).
