‘Test and treat’ programmes are failing to reach people at highest risk of HIV transmission
www.aidsmap.com - "Programmes to scale-up HIV testing and treatment in countries in sub-Saharan Africa may have had less impact on new HIV infections than hoped, partly because they haven’t paid enough attention to groups that contribute disproportionately to HIV acquisition and transmission, experts say.
Greater efforts should be made to ensure that ‘universal test and treat’ programmes really are universal, they add. Programmes must reach young men, people travelling to look for work, sex workers, men who have sex with men, and other key populations." (Photo: Wheeler Cowperthwaite/flickr, CC BY 2.0)
