The AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC) recently released its annual state of the field report, Big Data Real People. The report is AVAC’s annual advocacy analysis, which serves as an actionable statement of the strengths and weakness of HIV prevention data today and includes a roadmap that spans the next 12 months and beyond.
The report argues that the state of HIV prevention data collection in 2016 is poor, but that one part of the solution lies in the adoption of “HIV Prevention Data Dashboards”. This tracking tool could bring the same specificity and accountability to non-antiretroviral therapy (non-ART) prevention services that the “treatment cascade” of diagnosis, initiation, retention and virologic suppression does for antiretrovirals for people living with HIV.
