HIV

Sex work is an important feature of the transmission dynamics of HIV within early, advanced and regressing epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV prevalence among sex workers and their clients is commonly 20 fold higher than the general population.

The Paulo Longo Research Initiative is a collaboration of researchers, policy

It has felt like the end of AIDS is in sight for some time now but after 30 years with so much hope and so many false alarms the wise have learned not to get excited by each announcement and slogan. But in the wake of news of declining epidemics and the role of treatment in prevention Michel Sidibe has actually said it, so we can probably safely celebrate that we have turned the corner into the home straight. But at the same time we have to recognise that the final post
