AVAC Report 2014/15: HIV Prevention on the Line
In AVAC Report 2014/15: HIV Prevention on the Line, we take on the current state of global targets for the AIDS response, looking beyond pithy slogans to explore what’s in place and what’s not in terms of targets, resources and action to begin to end the AIDS epidemic. We also provide concise updates and calls to action on key prevention interventions including AIDS vaccines, voluntary medical male circumcision, microbicides, PrEP, and hormonal contraception use and HIV risk.
Intervention Update: Hormonal Contraception and HIV
Excerpted from AVAC Report: HIV Prevention on the Line, this update describes recent discussion and analysis in the search for answers as to whether hormonal contraceptives, including long-acting methods such as Depo-Provera (DPMA) and other injectable contraceptives and the implant, affect women’s risk of acquiring HIV.
Intervention Update: Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision
Excerpted from AVAC Report: HIV Prevention on the Line, this update cites the success of a previous VMMC target and suggests the current lack of a target moving forward will stifle continued progress.
Intervention Update: What’s Next for AIDS Vaccines and the P5 Partnership?
Excerpted from AVAC Report: HIV Prevention on the Line, this update details attempts to test vaccine strategy which showed promise in the RV144 trial.
Invest in an oral PrEP-driven paradigm shift
The data all point the same way: daily oral PrEP works if you take it. This excerpt from AVAC Report: HIV Prevention on the Line, provides a number of steps to scale-up PrEP rollout.
Mind the Gap
This graphic, presented in the AVAC Report 2014/15: HIV Prevention on the Line, shows all the components of a comprehensive response to end the epidemic.
Targets that Worked
As seen in this graphic from AVAC Report 2014/15: HIV Prevention on the Line, ambitious coverage targets that are well-defined in terms of the components of service delivery, impact and populations and need led to success for VMMC (VMMC) and antiretroviral therapy (ART).
