HIV Research & Clinical Practice
Scope & Guideline
Connecting research and clinical excellence in HIV.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- HIV Prevention and Treatment Strategies:
The journal focuses on innovative approaches to HIV prevention, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), treatment as prevention (TasP), and rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It explores the effectiveness and implementation of these strategies in diverse populations. - Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life:
Research published in this journal emphasizes the clinical outcomes of individuals living with HIV, including the impact of various treatment regimens on health-related quality of life, comorbidities, and mental health. - Socioeconomic and Cultural Contexts of HIV:
The journal examines the broader social determinants of health, including socioeconomic factors, stigma, and access to care, which influence HIV prevention and treatment outcomes in different communities. - Emerging Research on HIV Cure and Long-Term Survivorship:
There is a significant emphasis on exploring the possibilities for HIV cure research, including participant experiences in clinical trials and the implications of long-term survivorship for healthcare practices. - Integration of HIV Care with Other Health Services:
The journal addresses the integration of HIV care with services for non-communicable diseases and mental health, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach to patient management.
Trending and Emerging
- Patient-Centered Care Approaches:
There is a growing emphasis on patient-centered care, with studies focusing on improving the quality of care through patient involvement and tailored health services. This trend is crucial for enhancing treatment adherence and health outcomes. - Impact of COVID-19 on HIV Services:
Research addressing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV treatment and care delivery has surged. This includes exploring disruptions, adaptations in service delivery, and the implications for public health. - Innovative HIV Testing and Prevention Methods:
Emerging themes include the acceptability and effectiveness of novel HIV testing strategies, such as venue-based testing and home-based testing, particularly among high-risk populations. - Social Determinants of Health in HIV Outcomes:
There is an increasing focus on how social determinants, including stigma, socioeconomic status, and access to care, impact HIV health outcomes, leading to more comprehensive public health strategies. - Longitudinal Studies on HIV Care and Treatment:
A trend towards longitudinal studies assessing long-term outcomes of various HIV treatment strategies and their impacts on quality of life highlights the importance of sustained care and monitoring.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Biomedical Research on HIV Pathogenesis:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focused solely on the basic science of HIV pathogenesis and viral biology. Research has shifted towards clinical applications and patient-centered studies. - Traditional Epidemiological Studies:
The journal has seen fewer studies that rely on traditional epidemiological methods without innovative approaches or interventions. The focus has moved towards integrated and multidisciplinary research. - Single-Factor Analyses:
Research concentrating on single-factor analyses of HIV outcomes, such as isolated demographic factors without consideration of broader social determinants, has diminished as the field recognizes the complexity of HIV care. - HIV and Non-HIV Co-morbidities without Integrated Approaches:
While co-morbidities are still a topic of interest, studies that do not integrate HIV management with non-HIV conditions are becoming less common as the focus shifts to comprehensive care models.
