We will all need time to process the US election results and strategize how we navigate through them in the years ahead — as individuals, as a network of partners, and as advocates for choice, science, and rights. We look forward to working with our partners in protecting hard-fought gains and assessing the potential impact on PEPFAR, Global Fund support, and on US government aid agencies.

The past few months have brought exciting developments in the field of sexually transmitted infections. WHO released the global priorities for STIs, which included the need to develop low-cost, rapid STI point-of-care tests, vaccines, and communication strategies to increase STI awareness. But we continue to see a soaring rise in STI incidence and an underfunded infrastructure for researching new treatment, prevention and testing tools.

This week our Advocacy Chronicles podcast casts a spotlight on the state of HIV prevention among Black people in the US and particularly, the dismal statistics on access to PrEP in Black communities. The episode explores the tactics that have led PIBA to quickly rise as a powerhouse advocacy group by bringing together communities and government to find solutions that improve the US HIV response.
AVAC’s round-up of resources, updates and insights this week includes highlights from HIVR4P, a new vision for an inclusive prevention pipeline, shaping policy and more!
On the final day of HIVR4P 2024, we saw a focus on how to center communities from a number of angles—from the role of artificial intelligence in HIV prevention and details from a study on PrEP choices among African women to a manifesto for the inclusion of trans communities and a journalism initiative to translate HIV science into African languages.
At the plenary Back to the future, Sharonann Lynch of Georgetown University called for a transformational approach that would harness ambition and finally disrupt the “mediocre pace of scale-up” that squandered the global opportunity to leverage oral PrEP in 2012 and bend the curve of the epidemic. Read for more on this and all the other news from day four of R4P.
The data and discussions at HIVR4P 2024 in Lima, so far this week have been setting the stage for understanding what’s been accomplished in HIV prevention, understanding how choice works and why it matters, and where the research agenda is headed.

The HIV Research for Prevention 2024 (R4P) conference in Lima, Peru began with a suite of satellites that put the HIV prevention pipeline in context and pulled out key priorities from upstream research to gaps in PrEP coverage today, to progress toward connecting excluded populations with an array of choices.
As the HIV Research for Prevention (HIVR4P) conference opens in Lima, Peru, AVAC and partners are thrilled to introduce the People’s Research Agenda: Community & Advocacy Priorities in HIV Prevention Research and Development to help guide what will be—and should be—discussed at the meeting and beyond.
