Abstract
Peru reduced its HIV/AIDS burden by 43
percent from 2000 to 2010 due to the introduction of free
antiretroviral drug therapy in 2004, and the successful
execution of the 2007-2011 HIV/AIDS Strategy and budgeting
for results since 2011. The national HIV program received
significant external support from bilateral and
international organizations until 2010. The program s share
of domestic public funding has since increased
substantially. Since 2011, the Ministry of Finance has
worked to improve allocative efficiency of HIV/AIDS public
funding for high-risk groups, using budgeting for results
and transferring resources directly to the Regions. The
HIV/AIDS prevalence in 2010 was estimated at 0.4 percent,
below the Latin American and the Caribbean regional
prevalence of 0.5 percent.
