Confidentiality and security of such data must be safeguarded to avoid stigmatization and discrimination of people living with HIV. We set out to assess the extent that countries scaling up HIV services have developed and implemented guidelines to protect the confidentiality and security of HIV information. Methods Questionnaires were sent to UNAIDS field staff in 98 middle- and lower-income countries some reportedly with guidelines G-countries and others intending to develop them NG-countries . Responses were scored aggregated and weighted to produce standard scores for six categories information governance country policies data collection data storage data transfer and data access. Responses were analyzed using regression analyses for associations with national HIV prevalence gross national income per capita OECD income receiving US PEPFAR funding and being a G- or NG-country. Differences between G- and NG-countries were investigated using non-parametric methods. Results Higher information governance scores were observed for G-countries compared with NG-countries no differences were observed between country policies or data collection categories. However for data storage data transfer and data access G-countries had lower scores compared with NG-countries. No significant associations were observed between country score and HIV prevalence per capita gross national income OECD economic category and whether countries had received PEPFAR funding. Conclusions Few countries including G-countries had developed .
