Today is #ZeroHIVStigma Day. HIV stigma costs lives and prevents people living with HIV from thriving. It stops people from getting tested and knowing their status. Tackling HIV stigma is everyone's responsibility and is integral to the fight against HIV.

Effect of the “universal test and treat” policy on the characteristics of persons registering for #HIV care and initiating antiretroviral therapy in Uganda

Trained patients can provide insights into #HIV care needs and values for a patient-centred health service delivery that minimises lost to follow up and negative care outcomes.

#MeSHUniverse

[BMJ_Open @BMJ_Open]

Trained patients were more likely to identify suboptimal care in #HIV service delivery than untrained patients in a recently published cross-sectional survey https://t.co/0TgqmvNygV

Thorough modelling shows that addressing #HIV prevention cascade barriers is essential to achieving targets towards elimination
➡️ Addressing all cascade steps in a priority population is much more effective + responses need to be tailored to specific groups

Our latest publication in @LancetGH by Dr Michael Pickles from @ManicalandHIV models the effect of hypothetical interventions at each stage of the HIV Prevention Cascade to assess the impact on HIV incidence in Manicaland, Zimbabwe https://t.co/vLdujhIyXx @MRC_Outbreak

Do #HIV prevalence estimates among ANC attendees in Western Kenya represent the general population in the era of test & treat?
➡️ Overall yes BUT this masks important disparities in age-specific HIV prevalence

Really interesting article which highlights the importance of addressing underlying drivers of HIV risk, which can act as barriers to accessing HIV prevention services and interventions 🚧

Great commentary highlighting gaps in our understanding of #HIV care in the context of mobility! More research is needed on key aspects of mobility that affect care, vulnerable groups within the mobile populations & interventions to improve treatment outcomes 🌍

#MeSHUniverse

[Marguerite Thorp @ThorpMarguerite]

In addition to our findings in Malawi, we also wrote this commentary on overarching issues of #mobility and #HIV. Consider it a lit review shortcut :) Huge thanks to my co-authors (none of whom are on Twitter!) for the months of work that went into these two pieces 🙏

@CeSHHAR Well done Galven! 👏
