In this episode of Px Pulse, our monthly podcast, we bring you two different conversations, each throwing a spotlight on different aspects of HIV prevention advocacy today. You’ll hear how the AVAC Partner Forum brought key issues into focus and how these advocates are sharpening their strategies. Then we turn to a global effort to accelerate prevention.
From the Trenches, Advocates Share Their Prevention Priorities
The Delivery Challenge
This figure shows the timeline to achieve public health targets related to a new intervention, both globally and (in dashed lines) in the US.

The UNAIDS 10-Point Plan for Making Progress on Prevention
The UNAIDS 10-point plan for making progress on prevention omits elements of the “research-to-rollout” continuum, and leaves the definition of prevention out—focusing on the “how” rather than the “what”. This graphic appears in AVAC Report 2017: Mixed messages and how to untangle them.

An Advocate’s Guide to Research Terms in the Post-Placebo Era
In Px Wire, AVAC’s quarterly update on HIV prevention design, we presented this illustration on some new types of biomedical prevention trial design. You’ll find a summary of long-acting PrEP trials, a lexicon of key terms for the “post-placebo era”, and a handy illustration for looking smart while you explain “double-dummy double-blind”.
