ICAP

At this year’s Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Boston, ICAP presented research on HIV related topics from its work in Kenya, Swaziland, Rwanda, South Africa and elsewhere. Presentations addressed a range of issues from gender difference in loss to follow up care in older adults on ART to pregnancy intentions among HIV infected women seeking antenatal care.

ICAP’s research draws from current and emerging scientific evidence and best practices and seeks to improve on-the-ground technical assistance and, ultimately, programmatic outcomes. Conducted in close collaboration with in-country partners, ICAP research fosters opportunities for new approaches and innovations in the global response to HIV.
