Global Aids Reporting-2001 to 2015
Since 2001 the UNAIDS Secretariat has retained the responsibility for monitoring progress towards global commitments on HIV/AIDS. Key critical characteristics of the reporting system were assessed for the reporting period from 2004 to 2014 and analyses were undertaken of response rates and core indicator performance. Country submission rates ranged from 102 (53%) Member States in 2004 to 186 (96%) in 2012. There was great variance in response rat…
M&E Competencies in Support of the Aids Response
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) led a consultative process to develop a self-assessment tool for HIV monitoring and evaluation (M&E) leadership competencies. The tool seemed fit-for-purpose in M&E staff recruitment and professional development. The willingness to use the self-assessment was related to the pragmatic and reality-based nature of the tool. A competency-based approach to M&E training was well accepted by profes…

It is time to comprehensively assess the status of HIV prevention and control. We must build on previous studies to create a comprehensive, integrated national picture t…

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention partnerships with external behavioral and social scientists
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) must have strong external partnerships with behavioral and social scientists to refine and carry out its research and programmatic mission. This article examines funding, employment, and other mechanisms used to develop and foster such partnerships. The authors describe in detail funding mechanisms (especially the often-used cooperative agreement and contracting mechanisms) and identify specifi…
Retention in Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs, Connecticut and Massachusetts, 1990 – 1993
The goal of this study was to identify factors associated with six- and 12-month retention in methadone maintenance treatment programs (MMTPs) in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Data was obtained from 674 participants, clinic records, and clinic staff. Ethnographic and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Overall, 69% and 48% of the clients remained in treatment at six months and 12 months, respectively. The MMTPs were categorized as eithe…
Multicomponent, School-Based Strategies to Prevent HIV Infection and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among Adolescents
American adolescents are at high risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—the virus that causes AIDS—and for the acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Given the seriousness of these health problems, interventions for preventing HIV and other STD infections among adolescents are needed. Although behavioral science theories offer promise, effective interventions for preventing HIV and other STD infections have not b…
