indicators, and to ensure that programmes and policies are developed and
adequately resourced to address the specific needs of women and girls;
30. Encourages the United Nations to continue to support national
monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in the context of the “three ones”
principles, to enable the production and dissemination of comprehensive and
timely information on the gender dimension of the epidemic, including
through the collection of data disaggregated by sex, age, disability, marital
status and geographical location, and to raise awareness about the need to
address the critical intersection between gender inequality and HIV and AIDS,
and encourages Member States to report on the relevant indicators for the
global AIDS response progress reporting system;
31. Stresses the importance of Governments, the Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV/AIDS and other United Nations specialized agencies,
funds and programmes developing and implementing strategies to improve
infant HIV diagnosis, including through access to diagnostics at point of care,
significantly increasing and improving access to treatment for children and
adolescents living with HIV, including access to prophylaxis and treatments
for opportunistic infections, and promoting a smooth transition from paediatric
to adult treatment and related support and services, while taking into account
the need to put in place programmes focused on delivering services to
HIV-negative children born to women living with HIV, as they are still at high
risk of morbidity and mortality;
32. Encourages Member States to work in partnership with the Global
Coalition on Women and AIDS, convened by the Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV/AIDS and its partners, so as to mobilize and support a
wide range of national actors, including women’s groups and networks of
women living with HIV, in order to ensure that national HIV and AIDS
programmes are better able to respond to the specific needs and vulnerabilities
of women, girls and adolescents;
33. Welcomes the Global Plan towards the Elimination of New HIV
Infections among Children by 2015 and Keeping their Mothers Alive and takes
note of the Secretary-General’s Every Woman, Every Child initiative, as well
as national, regional and international initiatives contributing to reduction of
the number of maternal, newborn and under-five child deaths, and urges
Governments to rapidly scale up access to HIV prevention and treatment
programmes integrated with family planning and maternal and child health
programmes designed to eliminate mother-to-child/vertical transmission of
HIV and reduce HIV-related maternal mortality by 50 per cent by 2015, to
encourage men to participate with women in such programmes, address
barriers faced by women and girls in accessing such programmes and provide
sustained treatment and care for the mother after pregnancy, including care and
support for the family;
34. Expresses concern that the majority of new HIV infections in women
occur in marriage or long-term relationships, and encourages the design and
implementation of programmes, including awareness-raising programmes, to
encourage and enable men, including young men, to adopt safe, non-coercive
and responsible sexual and reproductive behaviour and to use effective methods
to prevent the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections;
