Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on HIV prevention, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART). Studies focus on understanding barriers and facilitators to uptake and adherence among various populations, such as individuals involved in the criminal legal system, Spanish-speaking people with HIV, Latinas, LGBTQ+ individuals, Black women, men who have sex with men (MSM), and adolescent sexual minority males. The research also explores the role of community engagement, faith institutions, and technology, including mobile health (mHealth) apps and telehealth, in HIV education, testing, and prevention services. Additionally, the journal addresses the impact of stigma, mental health, substance use, and social determinants on HIV prevention efforts.
