Until biomedicine develops an effective vaccine for HIV, the world will continue to depend on the people most affected to reduce the risk of HIV transmission to themselves and others and, if living with HIV, to be treated. Though not a cure, anti‐retroviral therapy has dramatically reduced the number of AIDS deaths. HIV prevalence has increased, in part due to this reduction in the number of deaths, while HIV incidence, though declining, remains high. HIV is transmitted by social practices—sexual and drug injection practices—which are shaped by culture. Evidence from many countries has demonstrated that transforming these practices to reduce HIV transmission is dependent on the collective actions of people, as members of communities and networks, enabled and supported by governments and international bodies and donors. A social public health in which biomedical and social scientists work together is essential to combat HIV
