Toolkit: New Prevention Technologies

2010_NPT_toolkit-W70

GNP+'s new toolkit "New Prevention Technologies – what are they? What is their relevance for people living with HIV?" provides a brief definition of each of the potential prevention tools being researched.

The toolkit gives an overview of the current state of research, and discusses the relevance of the technologies for people living with HIV.

It then outlines research into prevention technologies that have had unsuccessful results—diaphragms and cervical barriers, and treatment for herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The toolkit also provides an overview of existing prevention technologies—female and male condoms, medical male circumcision, post-exposure prophylaxis and prevention of vertical transmission (sometimes called prevention of mother-to-child transmission or PMTCT)—and summarises recent findings about these technologies.
