CAMPHIA 2024-2025
CAMEROON POPULATION-BASED HIV IMPACT ASSESSMENT "Your Action Matters! Ending HIV Together"
The Cameroon Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (CAMPHIA 2024-2025) was a household-based national survey among adults (defined as those aged 15 years and older) to measure the impact of the national HIV response. Conducted from September 2024 through January 2025, CAMPHIA 2024-2025 offered HIV counseling and testing with return of results and collected information about uptake of HIV care and treatment services. Like CAMPHIA 2017-2018, CAMPHIA 2024-2025 estimated national HIV incidence and national and regional HIV prevalence among adults, as well as national and regional prevalence of viral load suppression (VLS), defined as HIV RNA <1,000 copies per milliliter (mL) among adults living with HIV. The results of these surveys also provide information on national and regional progress toward HIV epidemic control in Cameroon, including progress towards achieving the global and national 95-95-95 targets.
CAMPHIA 2024-2025 was led by the Government of the Republic of Cameroon, primarily through the Ministry of Public Health and the National Institute of Statistics (NIS). The survey was conducted
with funding from the United States (US) President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and through technical assistance and partnership with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CAMPHIA 2024-2025 was implemented by the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board, NIS, and ICAP at Columbia University in collaboration with Government of Cameroon entities, including the Division of Health Operational Research, the National AIDS Control Committee, the National Public Health Laboratory, the Department of Disease, Epidemics and Pandemics Control, the Department of Pharmacy, Medicines and Laboratory, the Research Center on Emerging & Re-emerging Diseases, the Chantal Biya International Reference Centre for Research on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Management, as well as district, regional, and referral hospitals, and local government authorities. The Government of Cameroon, local civil society organizations, and international development partners participated in steering committee meetings and technical working groups during survey implementation.
