Priorities for HIV service delivery: Evidence, implementation and future directions
This collection builds on the previous priority setting process to publish key evidence reviews with complimentary targeted commentaries that inform the updated 2021 guidelines. Supporting evidence underlying the new recommendations is included with adjunctive articles presenting methodological challenges associated with the use of trial evidence to inform recommendations aimed at improving service delivery. There’s also a piece that summarizes the priority research gaps that were identified through the guideline process.
