Evidence Based Interventions for Preventing HIV Transmission: Commentary on Rotheram-Borus et al. (2009)

In their article "Family Wellness, Not HIV Prevention" Rotheram-Borus et al. (2009) state that "sustained improvements in global health require creating a prevention infrastructure to meet the multiple health challenges experienced by local communities." They then identify four fundamental shifts in HIV & disease prevention. This commentary points out that these shifts are not new but are already being implemented, & some lessons learned indicate they are no complete solutions but strategies that can be integrated with other approaches to the delivery of behavioral & biomedical prevention. The four suggested shifts are discussed in the following sections. Adapted from the source document.
