The Tanzania HIV Impact Survey 2016-2017 (THIS) is a nationally representative, cross-sectional, population-based survey of households across the United Republic of Tanzania.
It focused on measuring key biological endpoints to provide direct estimates of HIV risk and burden, and of the effectiveness and population-level impact of HIV-related prevention, care, and treatment interventions implemented in the country.
THIS is the first national survey to conduct these measurements in Tanzania. The survey also collected information on behaviors associated with HIV acquisition and transmission, common HIV co-morbidities, and other health conditions.
This project is supported by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through CDC under the terms of cooperative agreement #U2GGH001226. The findings and conclusions are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the funding agencies.
