Despite general improvements in health data availability and quality, the availability of HIV prevalence data among the most vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries remains insufficient. Data collection should be expanded to include behavioral, clinical, and epidemiologic data through context-specific differentiated survey approaches while emphasizing data use for program improvements. Ending the HIV epidemic by 2030 is possible only if the epidemic is controlled among KPs.
