for impact. Indicators continue to evolve to adapt to emerging programmatic areas and advances in technical approaches to implementation as countries begin to reach epidemic control. WHY?
key population disaggregations across the prevention and clinical cascades; • the need to reduce data collection redundancies between indicators and ensure that the MER guidance and training materials reinforce the relationships within and between indicators; • the need for enhancements to the data entry screens in DATIM to ensure better data quality; and • the need for more input on MER changes from community stakeholders, technical experts, implementing partners, and PEPFAR field staff. MOTIVATIONS
measure how many adolescent girls and young women are being served in the DREAMS program and whether all AGYW in DREAMS have received the intended layered services and interventions to ensure that they remain HIV-free * see the appendix for disaggregates
of individuals receiving oral PrEP during the reporting period and is an important addition to the MER to help PEPFAR programs understand how many clients are being sustained on PrEP after initiation. * see the appendix for disaggregates
were identified and tested using Index testing services and received their results • standalone indicator to monitor index testing services • includes a cascade that will help to better understand the scale and fidelity of the index testing services provided by PEPFAR-supported programs * see the appendix for disaggregates
of newly diagnosed HIV- positive persons aged ≥15 years with a test for recent infection result of ‘recent infection’ during the reporting period • as countries progress toward epidemic control, surveillance of newly diagnosed persons will ensure that interventions target those at highest risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV infection. * see the appendix for disaggregates
of cervical cancer screen- positive women who are also HIV-positive and on ART that were eligible for and received cryotherapy, thermocoagulation or LEEP * see the appendix for disaggregates
of ART patients with no clinical contact since their last expected contact • intended to drive improved tracing of patients to ensure patient outcomes are accurately documented. • first PEPFAR indicator to collect information on mortality and strives to better understand the magnitude of previously undocumented patient transfers. * see the appendix for disaggregates

not indicated” will now be “Test not required based on risk assessment” to simplify the language. OVC_SERV – age/sex and program status (i.e., active or graduated) disaggregations have been combined DISAGGREGATION CHANGES
type” disaggregate to align with PMTCT_STAT PrEP_NEW – “Other key population” has been removed and replaced with “people who inject drugs” and “people in prisons and other closed settings” so that all key population disaggregate group options align between HTS_TST, TX_NEW, PrEP_CURR, and PrEP_NEW. DISAGGREGATION CHANGES
TB_STAT – age/sex disaggregations were updated from coarse-only to fine age bands to allow TB_STAT to auto- populate HTS_TST via the TB modality and to align with the age bands for TB_ART. DISAGGREGATION CHANGES
for the numerator. Age/sex and “Start of ART by Screen Results” disaggregations have been combined for the denominator. VMMC_CIRC – age disaggregations were added to the “HIV Status and Outcome” disaggregate in order for VMMC HTS results to auto-populate into the HTS_TST indicator. DISAGGREGATION CHANGES
received ARVs within four weeks of their last missed drug pick-up should not be counted. Efforts to trace patients that have missed a clinical visit or drug pick-up should begin immediately following a missed clinical contact. TX_ML describes the PEPFAR-recommended patient tracing process in more detail. DEFINTION CHANGE
