About the Thematic Series
For many researchers and clinicians, effective prevention and treatment of HIV can prove a halfway point for its eradication. Since its first outbreak, the developments made highlight a wealth of progress, but how much further does medical science have to go? This Thematic Series will explore current methods to prevent the spread of HIV, alongside those currently in development. This can include the varying types of HIV vaccine in development (e.g., mRNA, T-Cell), our understanding of selective immunity in certain individuals, the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis and more.
Prevention is one part of reducing the spread of HIV, but the treatments available to patients once diagnosed are equally as important. Recent developments and discoveries in HIV treatment push the field further to improve the quality of life of individuals living with HIV, including progress into injectable treatments. Additionally, pre-existing treatments including antiretroviral drugs receive necessary updates to enhance their efficacy, safety and adherence levels.
Importantly, how clinicians and society approach HIV and its treatment is crucial for progress. This includes highlighting the accessibility of HIV healthcare across countries, gender, socioeconomic status and age groups. With this information it is hoped that everyone has a chance of receiving high-quality HIV healthcare globally. Attitudes can form a significant part of this, as the benefits of having an external support network will also be explored in this Thematic Series. However, the mental health of the patient can be equally as important as external support, with insight into psychological comorbidities and treatments available to individuals living with HIV.
The journal is seeking original submissions and review articles on the following topics related to the prevention, treatment and attitudes towards HIV:
• Latest developments in HIV treatment, including long-acting injectable treatments
• Knowledge about current antiretroviral drugs and microbicides
• Impact of genetics on variability in HIV transmission and treatment
• Cases of cured HIV and how they can inform treatment
• Selective immunity against HIV in special populations
• Progress and challenges in various types of HIV vaccine development
• Variables in the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
• Environmental and societal methods for HIV prevention
• Accessibility of HIV treatment worldwide and across sociodemographic groups
• Attitudes towards HIV and their impacts on treatment uptake and adherence
• The power of social support networks
• Mental health of individuals living with HIV throughout different stages of treatment
• Psychological comorbidities and psychiatric treatments in HIV care
