  • Activists on the Frontlines of the PEPFAR Planning Process: Week 2

    The three-week PEPFAR Regional Planning Meetings (RPM) wrapped up—and week two included a fresh group of countries, some familiar patterns and some new ideas. One of the most important takeaways to consider is the need for ongoing attention to this work. PEPFAR engagement is a 365-day effort, and the wins in the room are sometimes fragile.

  • Research Literacy on a Plate: In-person HIV vaccines update for Zambian advocates

    What does the “HVTN” in HVTN 702 stand for? And why do some trials, such as the mosaic vaccine trial HVTN705/HPX2008, carry two interchangeable tags? Also, what’s a mosaic vaccine, and why was it developed? Where are the studies happening, and when can we expect results?

    Research literacy for HIV prevention advocates involves clarifying these types of questions. Current and accurate knowledge about clinical trials allows an advocate to engage confidently in the clinical trial ecosystem, which includes researchers, communities, ethics boards, and even funders. A recent gathering was a reminder of how effective it can be to conduct these sessions in an informal, low-tech setting, to invest in their knowledge of HIV prevention science.

  • Anatomy of Effective Stakeholder Consultation: A look at best practices from a consultation for MTN 042

    Incorporating stakeholder engagement early and deeply in the development of a clinical trial for HIV prevention research is for us a clarion call. Including a diverse cross-section of expertise and perspectives at the outset, especially of those who may rely on these strategies to prevent HIV, helps research stay on track to eventually deliver options people will trust and use.
