Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
HIV/AIDS is likely to remain a significant global health challenge requiring a comprehensive, multi-level, interdisciplinary approach. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for HIV/AIDS, the global focus is on minimizing the number of new HIV infections, improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing health disparities globally. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight innovative, equitable, and sustainable public health strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in various settings. We welcome manuscripts focusing on any area of public health strategies and their implementation, including those focusing on the prevention of new infections, early detection and diagnosis, treatment and care for people living with HIV, the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, surveillance, and monitoring, and other strategies, including community, stakeholder, and key population engagement, community outreach, public health promotion, and advocacy. HIV service provision is increasingly delivered via mHealth solutions and directly in community settings, often engaging communities and those with lived experience. These and other strategies work synergistically to improve population health and reduce the burden of HIV/AIDS. This Special Issue will highlight public health strategies implemented in various settings and aid in working toward the accomplishment of the SDGs.
Dr. Anna Helova
