Advance HIV/SRH Integration

Promoting integration of HIV prevention and sexual & reproductive health to better serve women and girls

Integrating HIV and sexual & reproductive health (SRH) is the future of prevention. To end the HIV epidemic, it’s fundamental to put women at the center of the response. This means making it easier for women and girls to access quality, comprehensive HIV/SRH care where and when they feel comfortable, bringing down barriers, and developing multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) that address many SRH needs with a single product.

Women and Girls at the Center
There is still much to be done to fully realize the vital work of integrating HIV treatment and prevention with sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This site (srhintegration.org) offers resources to inform advocacy and demand the policies and programs to make these changes a reality.

AVAC advocates for multilayered prevention, and works to strengthen existing HIV/SRH integration.

• The HIV Prevention Market Manager collaborated with Ministries of Health in Kenya and Zimbabwe to assess HIV/SRH integration in-country.
• AVAC, as part of the Dual Prevention Pill Consortium, is planning for market introduction of a dual prevention pill that combines oral PrEP with oral contraception.
• The Coalition to Accelerate and Support Prevention Research (CASPR) is building a cadre of advocates to support and advance the MPT pipeline.
• COMPASS is advocating for ambitious integration targets in national and regional programs.
• Following the ECHO results, civil society led by and for women in Africa is developing country plans for integrated services.
