Transforming the response to the HIV epidemics amongst key populations: Addressing structural factors for achieving HIV elimination

Summary

The proposed research will develop a novel evidence-based statistical and modelling framework to improve this evidence base. We will conduct epidemiological analyses to improve our quantitative understanding of the causal pathways between structural factors and HIV-risk, utilizing global longitudinal datasets. We will then develop new mathematical models that include these causal pathways to robustly estimate the contribution of structural factors to HIV transmission and evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of societal enablers across diverse key populations and countries.
