    Adolescents discussing sexual behaviors with key influencing audiences

    This study qualitatively explored effects of sexuality discussions among adolescents and key influencing audiences. Although discussing sexuality issues with an influencer was described as instrumental in facilitating safe sex behaviors, inadequate knowledge and poor communication skills hinder such discussions. These findings suggest the need to strengthen influencers’ communication skills to gain confidence and provide adequate, updated information to address adolescent needs.

    Effect of self-administration versus provider-administered injection of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate on continuation rates in Malawi: A randomised controlled trial

    The authors found that women who self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) led to a more than 50 percent increase in pregnancy protection through 12 months compared with provider-administered injection. The findings demonstrate that self-injection can address the stubborn problem of early contraceptive discontinuation and that community health workers can safely train women to self-inject. Malawi plans to introduce DMPA-SC self-injection based on these positive findings.

    Recruitment of underrepresented minority researchers into HIV prevention research: The HIV Prevention Trials Network Scholars program

    The HIV Prevention Trials Network’s (HPTN’s) Scholars Program encourages early-career, under-represented minority investigators to pursue and continue research in HIV prevention science. This paper describes the program and suggests that scientists from racial, ethnic and sexual minority communities can benefit from training and mentoring within research consortia, whereas the network research benefits from perspectives of underrepresented minority scientists.

    QUENTIN: Reconstruction of disease transmissions from viral quasispecies genomic data

    Genomic analysis has become one of the major tools for disease outbreak investigations. This paper proposes a Quasispecies Evolution, Network-based Transmission Inference (QUENTIN) framework for conducting genomic analyses of outbreaks of highly mutable viruses associated with chronic infections, such as HIV and hepatitis C virus. The QUENTIN framework uses relevant properties of social networks to address previously identified shortcomings of existing computational frameworks for inference of transmission history from viral genomic data.

    Daily and non-daily pre-exposure prophylaxis in African women (HPTN 067/ADAPT Cape Town Trial): A randomised, open-label, Phase 2 trial

    The HIV Prevention Trails Network (HPTN) 067 trial, is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) behavioral study to evaluate the feasibility of non-daily regimens in adult women. The majority of women in this study took oral PrEP when made available in an open label study. Daily dosing resulted in better coverage during sex events, reported adherence and higher drug levels.
