Title of Collaborative Activity:

Adolescent Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA)

Description of Collaborative Activity:

The Adolescent Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) aims to enhance the effective use of evidence and help overcome implementation challenges related to prevention, screening, and treatment of HIV among adolescents (ages 15 to 24) in sub-Saharan Africa by catalyzing collaboration and communication among implementation scientists, program implementers, and policymakers. The goals of the Alliance are to: 1) provide a platform for cross-fertilization and exchange of ideas and information among implementation scientists and other stakeholders focusing on different aspects of HIV in adolescents; 2) enable the research to be better informed by programmatic challenges and questions; 3) inform policymakers of promising evidence and encourage use of the data in decision making; and 4) extend the reach and impact of implementation science related to adolescent HIV prevention and treatment.
