How were the Good Participatory Practice guidelines developed?

Good Participatory Practice Guidelines for Biomedical HIV Prevention Trials is a document that was drafted by a multidisciplinary international group including community advocates, research staff, and NGO representatives. The group was convened by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and AVAC. A draft version of the guidelines was then further refined through broad consultation involving a wide range of stakeholders. The first version of the guidelines was published in November, 2007.

The guidelines are intended to be a living document. It will only be useful if its contents are put into practice, evaluated, edited, updated, and made part of the ongoing dialogue around prevention research worldwide.
