The International
Center for Research on Women and
Tibotec are pleased to invite you to our pre-conference session, Women in HIV Trials: Building
Bridges in Clinical and Social Science Research, Saturday, Aug. 2,
at the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
Social science analyses are crucial to ensuring that
HIV clinical trials more adequately meet the needs of women and adolescent
girls. Hear from leading researchers on their experiences with prevention and
treatment trials, the challenges they faced and the solutions they have found
toward integrating women into HIV trials. Through small group
discussions, attendees will join the guest speakers to develop action points
on how to bridge the social and clinical sciences toward improving clinical
trials. These groups will consider four key questions:
- What should HIV trial participants receive in the
sexual and reproductive health package of services?
- How can researchers use social science to better
assess women’s barriers to adherence of trial regimens and requirements?
- How do prevention technologies and treatment regimens
affect women?
- What lessons can be learned from
successful efforts to integrate women in prevention and other HIV
trials?
