Adapting the HIV response to evolving HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa
Exploring the HIV response to HIV in sub-Sarahan Africa
The HIV response to HIV in sub-Sarahan Africa is a story of eventual success. How that success can be maintained and how interventions should change will be discussed. Analysis of epidemiology, funding, and programs will be used to describe how the HIV response should adapt to changes in HIV epidemics.
