| dc.description | Since the start of the HIV epidemic we have witnessed significant advances in our
understanding of the impact of HIV disease worldwide. Furthermore, breakthroughs in
treatment and the rapid expansion of HIV care and treatment programmes in heavily
impacted countries over the past 5 years are potentially critical assets in a comprehensive
approach to controlling the continued spread of HIV globally. A strategic
approach to controlling the epidemic requires continued and comparable expansion
and integration of care, treatment and prevention programmes. As every new infection
involves transmission, whether vertically or horizontally, from a person living with HIV/
AIDS (PLWHA), the integration of HIV prevention into HIV care settings has the
potential to prevent thousands of new infections, as well as to improve the lives of
PLWHA. In this paper, we highlight how to better utilize opportunities created by the
antiretroviral roll-out to achieve more effective prevention, particularly in sub-Saharan
Africa. We offer specific recommendations for action in the domains of healthcare
policy and practice in order better to utilize the advances in HIV treatment to advance
HIV prevention. | |
