Overview
HIV prevention science is the interdisciplinary field that develops, evaluates, and implements strategies to interrupt acquisition and transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. It integrates biomedical interventions such as pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, treatment as prevention, and condom provision with behavioural and structural approaches including risk-reduction counselling, sexual-abstinence and partner-reduction programmes, and changes to the social and service environment that shape exposure. A defining feature of the discipline is its reliance on rigorous study design, so methodological questions of cohort recruitment, participant retention, and adherence measurement are central to generating valid efficacy estimates, particularly in trials and longitudinal studies. The research assembled in this area examines recruitment strategies and challenges in prevention studies, retention in prospective cohorts, psychosocial profiling of clients with potential to act as prevention change agents, predictors of adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis among female sex workers, status-disclosure dynamics, and school-based risk-reduction interventions for adolescents across diverse settings. It also addresses provider knowledge of antiretroviral prophylaxis and the maintenance of prevention programme archives. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies that link intervention efficacy, implementation feasibility, and population-specific determinants across the HIV prevention continuum.
