Dear Advocates,
AVAC is testing a new way to bring you information and updates! Today we are introducing a podcast, Px Pulse, where advocates, researchers, policy makers and community stakeholders can hear from each other about HIV prevention research.
In a cue from the treatment field where “Tx” is widely understood, AVAC uses “Px” as shorthand for “prevention”. In line with our Px Wire quarterly newsletter, Px Pulse will deepen your knowledge of prevention research and help you regularly “check the pulse” of this fast-paced field through compelling audio coverage including interviews, first-person accounts and robust discussion.
Initial Px Pulse offerings explore issues including what it takes for adolescent-focused research to be effective; and what factors led researchers to change the design of HPTN 084, a trial of long-acting injectable PrEP. Future episodes will explore the impact of media coverage on recent trials; a progress report on the introduction of new prevention options; and one advocate's take on oral PrEP rollout today and the PrEP of tomorrow.
This project is a pilot—we want to know what you think! We will use your feedback to explore further formats, content, and voices.
We offer Px Pulse in a number of ways, all downloadable on our Px Pulse page:
