Global Village Sessions

Beyond Addictophobia: Addressing Injection Risks and Drug-Linked Sexual Behaviors in HIV Prevention Science and Care

Saturday, July 30, 1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
Room 2/ Global Village Channel

Summary:
This workshop will highlight the importance of utilizing a health equity lens while examining the degree to which studies may be generalizable when people who inject drugs or people who use drugs are not assessed and/or are excluded from significant participation. It will focus on the ‘culture of knowledge creation and how critical it is to deconstruct/reconstruct paradigms about how clinical and behavioral trials are designed and operated. It will also explore critical questions related to addictophobia and implicit bias in HIV and AIDS clinical research and offer guidance for how NIH and the HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Networks can re-imagine harm reduction.

Room 524/Channel 9

Organizers:
ICAP at Columbia University and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI)

Summary:
This satellite session will explore the use of the differentiated service delivery (DSD) approach to design high-impact HIV testing services, focusing on model designs that reach populations in need and effectively link HIV-negative clients to prevention and HIV-positive clients to treatment. Case studies from Africa will be presented by ministries of health and community-led organizations.

Room 516/Channel 6

Organizers:
The World Health Organization (WHO), Unitaid, and the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) Network

Summary:
The aim of the satellite is to launch the JIAS supplement on approaches to enhance and accelerate the investigation of new HIV drugs in pregnancy, discuss the strategic actions required and explore the application of this work to HIV-related co-infections. The satellite will be a combination of engaging panels with a diverse range of key stakeholders that will 1) focus on actions to effectively implement the proposed framework, 2) highlight the voices of community members who will discuss the effective and meaningful support of participants in research and 3) explore the application of the proposed framework to other disease areas (STIs, viral hepatitis, malaria, and TB).

Satellite: Recent Infection Surveillance as a Tool to Monitor Trends and Sharpen Prevention Strategies to Reach and Sustain HIV Epidemic Control? (SA026)

Friday, July 29, 2:45 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.
Room 510/Channel 8

Organizers:
Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic (TRACE) UCSF, ICAP, and CDC

Summary:
Monitoring recent HIV infections in a population can provide public health officials with a potential signal of gaps in epidemic control and inform HIV prevention, care and treatment programming and public health response. The Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic (TRACE) initiative has supported Ministries of Health to implement recent infection surveillance in over 20 countries since 2018. In this satellite session, TRACE country representatives will present case studies of how recent infection surveillance data are being used to strengthen national public health responses to the HIV epidemic. The satellite will feature presentations and a moderated discussion of lessons learned from TRACE-supported countries on the use of recent infection surveillance data to inform prevention, care, and treatment programming and public health response to accelerate and sustain epidemic control, focusing on how they have each harnessed this surveillance tool in their own unique national contexts. The presentation and exchange will be useful to other countries that are implementing or considering introducing recent infection surveillance into their own national plans.

Satellite: Differentiated Service Delivery for Advanced HIV Disease: A Health Systems Strengthening Approach to Improving the Coverage and Quality of AHD Services (SA036)

Friday, July 29, 6:15 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
Room 511/Channel 7

Organizer:
ICAP at Columbia University

Moderators:

Summary:
This session will focus on the need to strengthen health systems to optimize the care and treatment of people with advanced HIV disease (AHD), and on lessons learned from the 21-country CQUIN learning network. The CQUIN AHD community of practice includes representatives of ministries of health, donors, implementing partners, and people living with HIV. In 2021-2022, this group conducted systematic assessments of national AHD programs in 13 African countries using a capability maturity model. The satellite will include panelists and moderators from the World Health Organization, the Global Fund, PEPFAR, ICAP at Columbia University, CHAI, the Ministries of Health of Eswatini, Nigeria, and Zambia, and the National Empowerment Network of People Living with HIV in Kenya (NEPHAK).
