Book excerpt: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), viral hepatitis and cervical cancer are important concerns for any country implementing HIV programmes because of their shared modes of transmission, their contribution to the risk of acquiring HIV and their substantial burden. Interventions to prevent, diagnose and treat these infections are often delivered through services integrated with or closely linked to HIV services. Collecting data on the diagnosis and treatment of related infections will help strengthen the provision of HIV prevention and treatment services and improve the health of people living with HIV and those at risk of HIV infection. Incorporating individual-level data on HIV-related infections into HIV surveillance is a new area covered in the 2022 World Health Organization Consolidated guidelines on person-centred HIV strategic information: strengthening routine data for impact and is summarized in this policy brief.
