There’s lots to digest from the recent 2016 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, but we’ve got you covered. Here are some new resources on our website. Also our post-CROI webinar series continues. See below for details.
Read — Advocates' Voices from CROI
CROI was about more than the ring results. In our blog series, read perspectives directly from from advocates and activists in attendance. You won’t want to miss advocates' frank takes on which scientists walk the walk in community engagement, why research results are just the beginning and what the ring results means to African women.
Listen — Webinar: Exploring Dapivirine Trial Results
In the first of a series, Jared Baeten of the Microbicide Trials Network and Zeda Rosenberg of the International Partnership for Microbicides spoke about the dapivirine ring trial results announced at the conference and fielded questions from webinar participants. (More post-CROI webinars to come!)
Look — Infographic: Evidence for HIV Prevention Options
Given these results, what’s the big picture of ARV-based prevention trial results? This graphic shows the levels of efficacy from each major trial with the confidence intervals around the finding. (Not sure what a confidence interval is? See our one-page Advocates' Guide to Statistical Terms.)
Read — Dapivirine Ring Results
Two trials of a vaginal ring containing the antiretroviral drug dapivirine announced their results at the conference. We compiled press releases, media reaction, provided background materials, linked to the conference webcasts with the results and more.
