  • The Vagina Dialogues - Day 3 at AIDS 2016 

    At its best, today's dialogue was led by and for women and centered on rights, realities and engaged discussion on the whole body, from head to toe and heart to mind. In some fascinating sessions, the vagina seized center stage and all but lost the head and heart that go with it. Today, in our update, we’ll try to put the pieces together and so, of course, the theme is: The Vagina Dialogues.

  • “We Neglect Primary HIV Prevention at Our Peril”

    The July issue of The Lancet HIV focuses on the need to scale up prevention to reduce new infections—reiterating that achieving the UNAIDS’ 90-90-90 treatment targets is not possible otherwise.
