Integrating and interpreting findings from the latest treatment as prevention trials.
This paper examined findings from some 2018-2019 international studies assessing the effectiveness of reducing HIV incidence by expanding HIV testing, linkage to HIV treatment, and helping persons living with HIV adhere to their medications (called the 90-90-90 strategy). A number of these “treatment as prevention” (TasP) tests had complex results. The studies examined included the TasP/ANRS 12249 study in South Africa, the SEARCH study in Kenya and Uganda, and one comparison (arms A to C) of the HPtn 071 (PopART) study in South Africa and Zambia as well as the Botswana Ya Tsie study. All but the Botswana Ya Tsie study and the second comparison (arms B to C) of PopART did not demonstrate a community impact on HIV incidence. But those two studies indicated significant (30%) reductions in HIV incidence in the intervention communities.

Translating an evidence-based behavioral intervention for women living with HIV into clinical practice: the SMART/EST Women's Program.
The researchers explored the pathways to effectively transfer promising research accomplishments into effective and sustainable service programs within the health care delivery system. Their study confirmed (a) the translatability of the Stress Management And Relaxation Training/Emotional Supportive Therapy (SMART/EST) Women's Program, from academic to community health center settings in two geographic regions with high HIV prevalence among women, (b) the ability of local staff to successfully achieve program fidelity and clinical outcomes, and (c) the sustainability the program beyond the auspices of research support, through supportive community health center leadership securing continued program funding.
