IPM researchers have authored a chapter in a comprehensive new HIV prevention, care and treatment guide published by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF).
The guide, From the Ground Up: Building Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Care Programs in Resource-Limited Settings, features the work of 230 public health experts from around the world. It builds on lessons learned from the last 20 years in HIV prevention, care and treatment. The foundation unveiled the guide Aug. 5 at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
The guide is a three-volume publication containing practical guidance designed for health care providers, managers, policy makers and implementers, as well as for the academic community.
IPM contributed an overview of microbicide development to the section, Current Issues in HIV Prevention. EGPAF invited IPM to write the piece after Jeremy Nuttall, MSc, IPM’s director of preclinical development, and colleagues published The Future of HIV Prevention and Microbicides in Infectious Disease Clinics of North America (21(1): 219-39).
“The chapter is a useful resource for people who may not be familiar with microbicides but are on the ground trying to make things happen,” Nuttall said. “Being part of this groundbreaking guide allows us to update the broader HIV field about the status of microbicide development and its promise for HIV prevention.”
