Impact of Community Level Factors on HIV Outcomes
On July 1, HC3 held a webinar titled, Impact of Community Level Factors on HIV Outcomes, focusing on different aspects of HIV and health communication.
Presentations focused on community level factors shown to impact HIV, what they are and what effect they have; community-level determinants that potentiate or mitigate HIV outcomes among key populations; and included an example of a community-based project that aimed to reduce HIV transmission and stigma in Mozambique by targeting social and gender factors. Speakers also highlighted manuscripts that will be published in an upcoming supplement in JAIDS slated for July 2014.
This webinar was moderated by Kim Seifert Ahanda, Senior Behavior change Advisor, USAID office of HIV/AIDS.
