The WHO country office works closely with the national AIDS control programme. It has provided technical and operational support to the development of a national HIV/AIDS policy and national strategic framework for 2008-2015.
The strategy includes the introduction of a harm reduction programme and establishment of voluntary testing and counselling in major cities. To mobilize local leaders and resources, AIDS prevention committees have been established in each district. A revised school curriculum has also been developed to fight HIV/AIDS in the country.
Status of HIV/AIDS in Libya
Based on the national sero-prevalence surveys in 2004, the prevalence rate of AIDS is at 0.13% of the general population. A situation analysis in 2004 showed that 87% of AIDS cases were among injecting drugs users. A series of studies are planned to be undertaken as part of the forthcoming strategic planning exercise.
National guidelines have been formulated for management of people living with HIV/AIDS in the country. A special centre has been established to provide treatment to AIDS patients.
