The Case For an HIV Cure and How to Get There
Viewpoint appearing in The Lancet HIV
Appearing in The Lancet HIV: We propose steps to plan for an HIV cure now, including defining a target product profile and establishing the HIV Cure Africa Acceleration Partnership (HCAAP), a multidisciplinary public-private partnership that will catalyse and promote HIV cure research through diverse stakeholder engagement. HCAAP will convene stakeholders, including people living with HIV, at an early stage to accelerate the design, social acceptability, and rapid adoption of HIV-cure products.

Evolving Strategies for an HIV Vaccine: One researcher explains where the field is going and why?
Produced and hosted by Jeanne Baron
With several large HIV vaccine trials in the last few years finding no efficacy, the field is in transition. There are diverse ideas in vaccine research, but there’s no clear concept that’s ready to test in a late-phase trial or move towards product development currently. Researchers are back to testing new ideas in early phase research.
In this episode of our Px Pulse podcast, Evolving Strategies for an HIV Vaccine: One researcher explains where the field is going and why?, Dr. Katy Stephenson explores the implications of recent trial results, the big questions driving next generation vaccine development, and new strategies underway in early phase research. Katy is a doctor, a researcher, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and part of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research.

Including Pregnant and Breastfeeding People in Trials of Novel LAED PrEP Agents
Perspective from sub-Saharan Africa community stakeholders
This paper describes how community consultation based in the principles of GPP led to researchers gaining an enhanced understanding of their community’s strongly held views and concerns about PrEP for pregnant and lactating people, and whether and how to include of those people in PrEP research.
