Scope & Guideline
Connecting critical insights with global HIV challenges.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- HIV Prevention Strategies:
The journal emphasizes innovative approaches in HIV prevention, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), harm reduction strategies, and community-based interventions to enhance access and uptake. - Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Research:
It publishes studies examining the efficacy, safety, and adherence to various antiretroviral regimens, including long-acting formulations and their impacts on treatment outcomes. - Epidemiology and Public Health:
Research on HIV epidemiology, including incidence, prevalence, and the social determinants affecting different populations, is a core focus, informing public health interventions. - Intersectionality and Health Equity:
The journal addresses the intersection of HIV with issues of gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status, advocating for health equity and tailored interventions for marginalized groups. - Global and Regional Responses:
It discusses the global and regional policy responses to HIV, including funding, legislation, and community mobilization efforts, highlighting the importance of advocacy in HIV care.
Trending and Emerging
- Long-Acting Antiretroviral Therapies:
Research on long-acting formulations of antiretroviral therapies is gaining traction, reflecting a movement towards improving adherence and treatment outcomes among people living with HIV. - Health Equity and Social Determinants:
There is an increasing focus on health equity, particularly how social determinants such as race, gender, and socioeconomic status impact HIV outcomes and access to care. - Integration of Mental Health Services:
Emerging studies emphasize the integration of mental health care within HIV treatment protocols, addressing the psychological aspects of living with HIV. - Community-Based and Decentralized Care Models:
The journal highlights innovative community-based models of care that improve access and retention in HIV services, particularly in resource-limited settings. - Impact of COVID-19 on HIV Services:
Research examining the interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic and HIV care has become increasingly relevant, focusing on disruptions in services and adaptations to maintain care.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional HIV Risk Factors:
Research on traditional risk factors for HIV transmission, such as injection drug use and unprotected sex, has decreased as newer studies focus on behavioral interventions and social determinants. - Standalone HIV Treatment Studies:
There has been a noticeable reduction in standalone studies focusing solely on the pharmacokinetics of specific antiretroviral drugs, as more emphasis is placed on integrated treatment approaches and patient-centered care. - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Terminology:
The use of the term AIDS in research has diminished as the understanding of HIV as a manageable chronic condition has increased, leading to a shift towards more descriptive language. - HIV Criminalization Studies:
Research specifically addressing the legal aspects of HIV criminalization has waned, possibly due to evolving societal attitudes and legal reforms in various regions. - Single Population Studies:
There is a decreasing trend in studies focusing exclusively on single populations, with a growing emphasis on cross-population comparisons to address the global nature of the HIV epidemic.
