Welcome to the 73rd issue of HIV This Week! In this issue, we try out elements of a new format and cover these topics: civil society responses (how civil society activism contributed to HIV treatment access in Thailand), vaccines (exciting news about two new broad and potent neutralizing antibodies), injecting drug use (where can you get opioid substitution treatment in prisons?), household resilience (what life course analysis tells us about how to alleviate HIV stressors for households and individuals?), HIV, TB, and national responses (how did things get this bad in South Africa and what to do about it now urgently?), men who have sex with men (how to start to respond in sub-Saharan Africa?) microbicides (Griffithsin: an HIV entry inhibitor candidate with a lot of promise; what do you know about disruption of tight junctions and microbicide safety?), PMTCT health care delivery (health workers in Hanoi, Viet Nam speak out on their problems providing good services; procurement flows and supportive supervision need improvement in Cameroon to meet its 2010 objective of 50% of pregnant women offered HIV testing), gender (widows, widowers, and heterosexual HIV transmission in Manicaland, Zimbabwe), paediatric comorbidity (When will there be a measles outbreak in Lusaka, Zambia?), epidemiology (population attributable fractions in a national sex work study in Togo; how does refusal to participate in a national household survey affect HIV estimates in high HIV testing settings?), and global, multilateral, bilateral responses (lessons from Brazil on how to shape global policy).
