Research Literacy Networking Zone and HIV Prevention Marketplace
AVAC, in partnership with AfNHi, EATG, NHVMAS, TAG, and Wits RHI, hosted the Research Literacy Networking Zone at AIDS 2018. The RLNZ brought together advocates, researchers, community educators and local community members to network and discuss ongoing and planned HIV prevention, cure, treatment and implementation research.

At AIDS 2018, the RLNZ also partnered with the HIV Prevention Marketplace Zone, hosted by a number seasoned HIV prevention advocates from east and Southern Africa who are Alumni of or currently participants in AVAC’s HIV Prevention Advocacy Fellows program. This Marketplace Zone was a space where HIV prevention advocates, delegates and community members came together to network, strategize and have informal discussions on current and future HIV prevention strategies as well as rollout of new interventions.

The International AIDS Conference included hundreds of sessions, side events, marches and meetings—many focused on HIV prevention research and implementation. We had an Excel version, sortable by focus, and a PDF version.
