Barriers to scaling up effective responses to HIV include intersecting challenges of stigma, legal environments, and policy. The persistence of obstacles jeopardizes the potential uptake of new strategies, including treatment as prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis, while constraining the impact of established prevention tools including syringe access and opioid substitution treatment.
Combination approaches to scaling up prevention for PWIDs require structural approaches to the social, legal and policy contexts informed by meaningful community engagement, participation and mobilization. Despite these barriers, there have been significant improvements. The proportion of spending on prevention services for sex workers has increased globally. Lastly, a number of landmark local initiatives have shown promising results.
South Africa has finally turned its attention to the epidemics in key populations. We describe the methods employed to scale up HIV programmes for key populations together with their attendant challenges and discuss the opportunities provided both for testing and implementing new biomedical prevention technologies in these key populations.
The challenges include epidemiological, programmatic and financial challenges as well as challenges generated by legal and social obstacles to reaching these neglected populations. Following a single injection of GSK LA in healthy volunteers, a plasma half-life of 21 to 50 days was observed, supporting quarterly dosing in humans.
We have demonstrated that GSK LA administered monthly starting one week prior to the first virus exposure completely protects macaques from eight intrarectal SHIV exposures. SW in trial communities will be surveyed at baseline and at months using respondent driven sampling to assess 'population level' effects.
The study has provided important information about the impact of early treatment on DNA reservoirs; the reconstitution, if not the preservation of gut associated lymphoid tissue; early neurological involvement; and importantly has provided important experience working in these at-risk and sometimes proscribed populations.
We will describe correlative information from a recent non-human primate study, and update our current plans for these cohorts, including treatment interruption, broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic vaccination. Coauthors : Jintanat Ananworanich, Nelson L. Michael, Merlin L. Tremendous progress has been made in anti-HCV drug discovery over the past years, with multiple classes of antivirals that act directly on the viral life cycle.
We are on the verge of having well tolerated direct acting antiviral combinations that can cure the vast majority of people treated. However, challenges exist, such as those related to drug-drug interactions, access to treatment, and cost.
Nonetheless, the opportunity to dramatically reduce liver-related morbidity and mortality exists; those in the HIV community, providers, and policy makers must do everything they can to seize it. Things have certainly changed since his time in public service, but the need for these things — globally — has not changed. The Edmund S.
