It is based on a review of existing literature, as well as on interviews with selected experts from the field of HIV in Switzerland, conducted in May 2009. After introducing the aim of the mandate (chapter 1), the report provides insight into the general epidemiological situation and HIV risk behaviour (chapter 2), outlines the state of activities in the field of primary prevention (chapter 3), as well as treatment and care (chapter 4), before turning to an analysis of issues and structure in terms of governance (chapter 5). The results were used by a panel of international experts to assess the current Swiss HIV-policy, and formulate rec-ommendations for further improvement, as an input to the reformulation of the future Na-tional HIV/AIDS Programme. The recommendations have been published in a separate Ex-pert Report (Rosenbrock et al. 2009). [...] 1. How can Switzerland minimize HIV transmission? 2. How can Switzerland assure timely testing of persons infected with HIV, referral for treatment and support services as well as continuity of care? 3. What would be the best governance in the Swiss HIV policy system in terms of division of labour, resources and incentives? These three questions guided the assessment accomplished. [Authors, p. 1, 3]
