Findings from Optima HIV applications and studies have been used to inform: the United Nations General Assembly, Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, national HIV/AIDS Strategic Plans, national Global Fund Concept Note applications, and country reports.
Optima HIV results can be used to improve country and health policy decision-making by informing domestic and donor public health funding allocations towards better achieving HIV targets.
The Optima HIV software was conceptualised and developed by the Optima Consortium for Decision Science with technical input from the World Bank, and is owned by Optima Consortium for Decision Science, Ltd. Optima HIV can be reached through www.hiv.optimamodel.com and is free and open source, with the code available for download on GitHub.
Optima HIV helps to:
- Identify HIV programs to be prioritized with available funding
- Determine resources required to reach HIV coverage targets and epidemiological objectives
- Establish the most cost-effective mix of HIV interventions to respond to a country’s HIV epidemic
- Reveal the investment allocation and coverage allocation for minimizing HIV incidence, HIV-related mortality, or both
- Calculate future treatment, care, and support costs for people affected by HIV or AIDS
- Estimate the number of new HIV infections and HIV-related deaths averted through existing or optimized investment.
2004 – ongoing
The primary Consortium partners for developing and applying the Optima suite of tools are University College London, University of Bern, and the University of New South Wales.
Optima tools have been developed and applied in close partnership and with funding from global health agencies including the: World Bank, Global Fund, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Optima also receives funding from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council.
The Optima HIV tool is part of the HIV Modelling Consortium, a group supporting evidence-informed decision making by facilitating the application of multiple mathematical models in sub-Saharan Africa.
