Effectiveness of Integrating HIV Oral Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Family Planning
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and family planning (FP) share key characteristics. Both are preventive, both have high efficacy but effectiveness which can be diminished by inconsistent use and both are particularly beneficial for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in certain lower- and middle-income countries. When the efficacy of PrEP was proven in field trials, an effort to implement PrEP programs for the populations that would most…
We are in this together
The study found that couples made joint decisions regarding study participation and uptake of HIV-related medication. Relational autonomy and dyadic-level influence should be considered within research and programs involving HIV serodiscordant couples
Willingness to use short-term oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by migrant miners and female partners of migrant miners in Mozambique
Migrant miners from Mozambique who work in South Africa and their partners are at substantial risk for HIV infection. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the willingness of migrant miners and female partners of miners to take short-term pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for prevention of HIV acquisition. The study was conducted in Gaza Province, Mozambique, between September and October 2015. A total of 131 male miners and female partner…
Effectiveness and safety of oral HIV preexposure prophylaxis for all populations
OBJECTIVE: Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) offers a promising new approach to HIV prevention. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the evidence for use of oral PrEP containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as an additional HIV prevention strategy in populations at substantial risk for HIV based on HIV acquisition, adverse events, drug resistance, sexual behavior, and reproductive health outcomes. DESIGN: Rigorous systematic review an…
Defining success with HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis
Introduction To date, six clinical trials have explored the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against HIV infection using oral tenofovir and/or emtricitabine/tenofovir [1–6]. Efficacy ranged from 0 to 75% [7], the variation of which can largely be explained by differences in PrEP adherence [8]. Efficacy data directly correlate with the objective adherence measures in those studies, and efficacy estimates were between 90 and 100% when ad…

Community mobilisation for HIV prevention in India
This special issue brings together a series of papers on the implementation and evaluation of community mobilisation efforts among sex workers and other marginalised populations within Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative. Avahan was initiated in 2003 as an attempt to build an HIV prevention model at scale across the six high prevalence states in India. It used a flexible but target-driven approach derived from business to mobilise collaboration and…
Developing WHO guidelines with pragmatic, structured, evidence-based processes
Many guidelines, including those produced by the World Health Organisation (WHO), have failed to adhere to rigorous methodological standards. Operational examples of guideline development processes may provide important lessons learned to improve the rigour and quality of future guidelines. To this end, this paper describes the process of developing WHO guidelines on prevention and care interventions for adults and adolescents living with HIV. Us…

Should management of sexually transmitted infections be integrated into family planning services
An extensive review of what is known about efforts to integrate prevention and treatment services for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) into family planning services found that all too little empirical evidence is available. This paper summarises the key findings of the review, discusses the need for additional information on forms of integration and how they are working, and makes recommendations on gathering the type of information that wi…
The Community Identification (CID) Process
This article depicts a structured qualitative research strategy that may be characterized as a rapid assessment method. The community identification (CID) process facilitates the collection of public health risk-related behaviors and values that are prevalent in particular communities or populations and the development of education and intervention programs that positively affect those behaviors and values. The process includes the following: (a)…
