Harnessing Private Sector Strategies for Family Planning to deliver the Dual Prevention Pill

The latest edition of the Journal of the International AIDS Society ([link removed]) features newly published research by AVAC and partners on the benefits of delivering family planning and PrEP using pharmacies, e-pharmacies and telemedicine, in addition to private sector clinics. The research demonstrates why these delivery methods should be prioritized for rolling out the Dual Prevention Pill (DPP), a daily pill that combines oral PrEP with an oral contraceptive to prevent both unintended pregnancy and HIV.

** Meta-analysis of Pregnancy Events in Biomedical HIV Prevention Trials in Sub-Saharan Africa: Implications for Gender Transformative Trials


**
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

CASPR partners authored new research published in AIDS and Behavior highlighting the need for clinical trial teams to balance the goals of generating scientific evidence with participants' fertility choices. The authors argue that to better support participants, trials should adopt strategies that accommodate changing fertility preferences, plan for pregnancies, and consider the ethical implications of allowing pregnant participants to continue in studies. This approach would contribute to a more gender-transformative approach to pregnancy in HIV prevention trials.
