Resource Description: The Sustainable Financing Options Project for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control for the period 2013-2020 has identified funding HIV/AIDS services through social health insurance (SHI) as one of the key strategies to ensure long term sustainability of HIV/AIDS treatment services in the context of declining international support for HIV/AIDS treatment in Vietnam. This report provides financial forecasts on the amounts of funding needed from SHI and other sources for HIV/AIDS treatment. It provides strong evidence to help Vietnam Social Security (VSS) prepare the financial resources needed for SHI to reimburse HIV/AIDS treatment. It also provides estimates of the resources needed from other sources for HIV/AIDS treatment in order to help the Government plan and prepare the resources for these items.
