In the global race to reach the end of AIDS, why is the world
slipping off track? The answer has to do with stigma, money, and
data. Global funding for AIDS response is declining. Tough choices
must be made: some people will win and some will lose. Global aid
agencies and governments use health data to make these choices.
While aid agencies prioritize a shrinking list of countries, many
governments deny that sex workers, men who have sex with men, drug
users, and transgender people exist. Since no data is gathered
about their needs, life-saving services are not funded, and the
lack of data reinforces the denial. The Uncounted cracks open this
and other data paradoxes through interviews with global health
leaders and activists, ethnographic research, analysis of gaps in
mathematical models, and the author's experience as an activist and
senior official. It shows what is counted, what is not, and why
empowering communities to gather their own data could be key to
ending AIDS.
