The People’s Research Agenda (PRA) is a global initiative driven by communities and advocates to define the most urgent priorities, research questions, and recommendations for HIV prevention research. It’s a vision for an inclusive HIV prevention pipeline using a platform that ensures the voices of those most affected by HIV are heard and integrated into HIV prevention research and development.
Led by AVAC alongside a network of partners, the PRA will put forward recommendations to diversify and strengthen the HIV prevention pipeline, enhance investment and financial support for HIV prevention research and development, and guide an advocacy strategy that truly addresses the needs of communities across the prevention pipeline.

Our Approach
The PRA’s mixed-methods approach ensures that a diverse set of voices influences its recommendations.
A reference group of advocates, researchers, funders, and affected communities will support the process alongside AVAC and an initial framework will be shared at the HIV Research for Prevention (HIVR4P 2024) conference in Lima, Peru.
