There are exciting developments in the Prevention field: namely RV144 Thai HIV vaccine trial results (Thailand) moving to a clinical trial in Southern Africa; a home testing kit available in the US; and recently FDA approved Truvada to be used as a prophylactic (other advancement in using what was historically treatment medicine as prevention medication).
As you know, I have spent a better part of my career in HIV/AIDS related work in some form or another since the late 90's; these advances provide 3 new tools in the fight against the spread of HIV and AIDS. The idea that any of the three can decrease the number of infection, or early loss of life is a welcome change.
BTW, I will be blogging from the Conference, look out for it as it will linked to my Facebook wall.
