  • Programs, Products, Services and Users: HIV & SRH integration is the future of prevention

    Integrating HIV and SRH has been successfully put into practice for family planning in HIV care and treatment clinics and prevention of mother-to-child transmission services in maternal and child health clinics. But integrating HIV prevention—most recently the addition of oral PrEP—and SRH services has been slow.

  • Telling the PrEP Story through Pictures: The Untapped Potential of the PhotoVoice Project

    The 3Ps for Prevention (Partners, Perceptions and Pills) study (3P) on PrEP use among adolescent girls and young women incorporated a photography project as a way for the young women to document their experience with PrEP. The images they created gave researchers a unique view into participants’ perspectives on PrEP, revealing new dimensions to their experience and the factors that encourage or discourage PrEP use.

  • COVID-19 and HIV

    There’s much we do and don’t know about COVID-19 and the virus that causes it. The global response to COVID-19, which is evolving rapidly, can and must benefit from lessons learned in the fight against HIV. AVAC is committed to data-driven, evidence-based advocacy, and we hope these resources help us all stay up-to-date on the facts, share experiences and make sure interventions for COVID-19 and HIV reach those who need them the most.

  • In Memory of Gita Ramjee

    It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Gita Ramjee on Tuesday, March 30 of COVID-19 related complications. She was a great friend to AVAC over the years – and she was an essential partner in helping to navigate the field through more disappointing results than any of us wanted. But those results never deterred her tireless determination to keep pushing for the next trial. Gita will be sorely missed by all of us who had the privilege to work with her. May we all build on her legacy and make her calling, her dream a reality.

In this update, AVAC shares the essential work of civil society groups and activists who are influencing PEPFAR programming for the coming year. Their continuing advocacy led to important wins, gained over the three weeks spent at the Regional Planning Meetings (RPMs) in Johannesburg.
