Event overview
The increasing emphasis on using antiretrovirals for prevention confronts the HIV field with new challenges. Evidence of the efficacy of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and TasP (treatment as prevention) from randomized controlled trials has stimulated debate on acceptability and on changes to existing safe sex practices (including condom use). In addition there is the question of ‘effectiveness’ in post-trial roll-out. However, it is not yet clear that there is sufficient knowledge about social relations for devising strategies attuned to the contrary expectations of antiretrovirals in the context of existing prevention strategies. In this session, participants will be introduced to novel research methods devised within the discipline of design. Design-led methods generate a new sort of ‘data,’ potentially able to inform the complex and dynamic relations that people experience in dealing with multiple objects including HIV, condoms, diagnostic tests, prevention messages, and sexual partners.
