Description of Collaborative Activity: |
This President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) activity focuses on testing treatment as prevention on the population level in South Africa and Zambia. This activity was initiated through the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), with support of multiple National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers, PEFPAR, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Requests for Application (RFA) was issued concurrently with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) RFA for combination prevention, and the agencies have worked together to ensure that the studies are complementary and do not overlap. |
