Until now, decisions about how to allocate ART
have largely been based on maximising the therapeutic
benefit of ART for patients. Since the results of the HPTN
052 study showed efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART)
in ...

Universal HIV testing and immediate antiretroviral
therapy for infected individuals has been proposed
as a way of reducing the transmission of HIV and thereby
bringing the HIV epidemic under control. It is unclear
whether ...

Background
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) has shown that male circumcision (MC) reduces sexual
transmission of HIV from women to men by 60% (32% 76%; 95% CI) offering an intervention of
proven efficacy for reducing ...
