Abstract

In this paper, we summarize key aspects of the global HIV situation, focusing on HIV care and treatment programs that provide highly active antiretroviral treatment (ART) and their programs' impact on the epidemiology of the disease, with a particular focus on urban areas. Urban populations in both resource-rich and resource-limited settings have been impacted harder by the HIV epidemic than their rural counterparts. We discuss the impact of HIV in cities before and after the introduction of ART using the example of New York City, one of the world's most resource-rich cities affected by HIV, and draw on the available data from resource-limited settings to anticipate the possible impact of HIV care and treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa and other resource-poor settings, along with strategies that can be used for evaluating impact.
