Scope & Guideline
Advancing knowledge in HIV/AIDS and STDs.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes

The journal encompasses research on innovative prevention strategies, such as HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), treatment modalities including antiretroviral therapy, and the exploration of long-acting injectable treatments. - Psychosocial and Behavioral Health:
It focuses on the psychosocial aspects of living with HIV, including stigma, mental health, and the impact of social support networks on health outcomes. - Epidemiological Studies:
The journal publishes studies that analyze the epidemiology of HIV and STDs, including incidence rates and risk factors in diverse populations. - Community-Based Interventions:
Research on community engagement and intervention strategies aimed at improving access to care and health outcomes for populations at higher risk of HIV and STDs. - Health Disparities and Access to Care:
The journal highlights issues related to health disparities, particularly among underrepresented minorities and marginalized communities, and examines barriers to accessing care. - Integration of Services:
It emphasizes the integration of HIV care with other health services, including mental health, sexual health, and substance use treatment.
Trending and Emerging
- Innovative PrEP Strategies:
There is a notable increase in studies exploring various modalities of PrEP, including long-acting injectables and the integration of PrEP into routine healthcare, reflecting a broader acceptance and implementation of preventive measures. - Mental Health Integration:
Emerging research emphasizes the integration of mental health services within HIV care, recognizing the critical impact of mental health on treatment adherence and overall health outcomes. - Telehealth and Digital Health Innovations:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telehealth services in HIV care, leading to an increase in research on digital health interventions and their effectiveness. - Youth Engagement in HIV Prevention and Care:
A growing body of work focuses on engaging youth populations, particularly young men who have sex with men, in HIV prevention and care strategies. - Addressing Stigma and Social Determinants of Health:
Research addressing the stigma associated with HIV and its impact on care engagement is increasingly prominent, along with studies on the social determinants of health that influence access to care. - Community Health Worker Models:
There is a rising trend in research on the role of community health workers in providing support and facilitating care for people living with HIV, particularly in underserved communities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional HIV Transmission Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional modes of HIV transmission (e.g., heterosexual transmission) has decreased as the focus shifts towards comprehensive prevention strategies that include PrEP and broader public health interventions. - Single-Disease Focus:
There is a waning interest in studies that examine HIV in isolation, without considering co-morbidities and the intersection of HIV with other STDs and health conditions. - Basic Science Research:
The journal appears to be moving away from fundamental laboratory-based studies in favor of applied research that directly impacts patient care and community health. - Longitudinal Cohort Studies without Interventions:
While cohort studies remain important, there has been a decline in studies that do not incorporate intervention strategies or actionable solutions to improve health outcomes.
