What’s new—and the same—with the latest HC-HIV data

January 13, 2015

Dear Advocates, 

Want to make sense of the latest flurry of mass and social media around possible links between hormonal contraception and HIV? This activity was triggered by a study and accompanying commentary published last week in the Lancet Infectious Diseases. 

AVAC’s P-Values blog contains an advocate’s guide to looking beyond the headlines. We’ve also published an article on Reproductive Health Reality Check that contains some additional analysis and discussion. And you can check out our website for additional background on hormonal contraceptives and HIV risk, including links to a range of other resource materials and a basic fact sheet.

Have questions? Want to get involved in ongoing advocacy around this issue? Let us know!

Best,
AVAC
