The HIV Spatial Data Repository provides geographically-linked HIV-related data for mapping in a geographic information system (GIS). Data are provided in a form that allows GIS users to integrate their own GIS data to produce new analyses and mapping of HIV data. The HIV Spatial Data Repository is part of PEPFAR’s effort to provide data for decision making and improve knowledge and understanding of the impact of HIV worldwide.

This website is made up of four main sections:

1. Available Data: This page contains a list of the data that are directly available from this website. Read more...

2. Gallery: On this interactive page, people can post maps they have created and comment on other HIV-related maps. Enter Gallery

3. Resources: This page contains links to other Internet resources related to mapping HIV data. Reading and Guidance; Other Data Sources; and GIS Tools.

4. User Forum: This is an open forum where people can discuss and share ideas on GIS analysis and mapping of HIV-related data.

To access the data on this site, new users should register and provide some contact information. (This information is secure and allows the HIV Spatial Data Repository to learn who is using this data). Existing users should login. The HIV related data from this website are provided via excel files and shapefiles. It also contains metadata on the provided shapefiles. GIS data are provided "as is" and boundary representations are not necessarily authoritative.
