The global Optima HIV allocative efficiency model: targeting resources in efforts to end AIDS.
KELLY, Sherrie L, et al.
Abstract
To move towards ending AIDS by 2030, HIV resources should be allocated cost-effectively.
We used the Optima HIV model to estimate how global HIV resources could be retargeted for greatest epidemiological effect and how many additional new infections could be averted by 2030.

Figure S1. Optima HIV epidemiological model structure
Abbreviations include: antiretroviral therapy (ART); cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cells per µL.
Table S1. Modelled countries by region. We selected 44 countries for inclusion in the model with prioritization of countries by number of PLHIV and where data to inform the model was available. Regional percent of PLHIV for each country and capture of regional percent of PLHIV is based on UNAIDS estimates.18 The number of subnational projects included for select countries are shown. Regional abbreviations include: Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA), Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Table S3. HIV resource allocations by region and globally, 2016 to 2030
HIV resource allocations for last reported budget amount and allocation (LR), optimum allocation to minimize new infections by 2030 with international funds maintained, and optimum allocation to minimize new infections by 2030 with international funds redistributed between countries from 2016 to 2030. These are supporting data for figure 2.

Estimated cumulative number of new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths by region and globally resulting from last reported budget amount and allocation (Last reported allocation) and optimum allocation to minimize new infections by 2030 (Optimum allocation) with percent of infections averted if resources are optimized (Averted if optimized (%)) for two scenarios: (1) international funds maintained and (2) international funds redistributed between countries from 2016 to 2030.

Table S6. Global HIV resource allocations and new infections with varying budget levels, 2016–2030
Supporting data for figure (4A) optimum allocation of annual global HIV programme resources to minimize new HIV infections by 2030 with 20% incremental budget increases from 0% to 200% compared with the last reported (LR) allocation with 100% budget and figure (4B) cumulative new HIV infections by population group from 2016 to 2030 at variable budget levels. As we did not consider non-targeted programme spending within the optimum allocation, these programme allocations were excluded here.
