HIV This Week

Welcome to the fourteenth issue of HIV This Week! This issue kicks off with prevention (the sobering confirmation from Amsterdam that effectively addressing one mode of transmission in most-at-risk populations with dual risks leaves the job undone; and the importance of data disaggregation by age in programmes for most-at-risk populations), vulnerability and income (why to be circumspect with wealthier men in Cameroon), TB/HIV (the strong economic case for expanding public-private partnerships), stigma and discrimination (sexual stigma and sympathy among Jamaican university students), internet sex (2 articles on the understudied milieu of cyber sexual networking, one on heterosexual men and women, the other on Latino men), health workforce strengthening (countries should be thinking longer-term in their Global Fund proposals), infant feeding (following the guidelines in Zimbabwe), risk assessment (cultural rules of thumb), young people (self-efficacy for condom use and sexual negotiation; and the effectiveness of mass media), HIV testing (reasons some pregnant Mexican women decide against it) and HIV vaccines (modelling the impact of an eventual partially effective vaccine in women and infants in South Africa).
