Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of the International AIDS Society focuses on HIV prevention and treatment research. Recent articles highlight the implementation and effectiveness of biomedical HIV prevention strategies such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), including long-acting formulations. The journal also examines challenges in accessing HIV care and prevention, particularly for key populations like men who have sex with men, transgender women, bisexual men, children and adolescents living with HIV, and people who inject drugs, across various geographic regions including Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Asia. Research also addresses HIV drug resistance, the impact of conflict on healthcare systems, and the importance of consistent definitions for treatment adherence and persistence.
