AIDSFree Prevention Update

The Prevention Update is an online library that provides a sample of summaries and abstracts of recent published articles - some available as free, open source documents and others available by purchase or subscription only - on global HIV prevention issues from a variety of scientific, peer-reviewed journals. It also includes programme resources, such as tools, curricula, programme reports, and unpublished research findings. Articles from all monthly editions, beginning in September 2013, are searchable by keyword, prevention type, and edition. Communication for development (C4D) practitioners will find two sections in particular under the dropdown menu "Prevention Update Section" - called "Behavioral Prevention" and "Structural Prevention" - particularly relevant to their work.

This resource is a product of the Strengthening High Impact Interventions for an AIDS-free Generation (AIDSFree) Project, a 5-year cooperative agreement funded by the United States (US) President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and managed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Office of HIV/AIDS. Focus areas of this initiative include: promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in HIV responses; promoting high-quality HIV testing and counseling for individuals and linking it to care; reaching more people with appropriate combination, biomedical, structural, and behavioural prevention services; eliminating mother-to-child-transmission of HIV; delivering life-saving therapies to those who need them most; and accelerating scale-up of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC).
