Our agenda in brief
• Welcome – Dazon Dixon Diallo
• Introductions
• Overview of the Mapping Pathways project
– Who are we? What did we do? What did we learn?
– What are we doing now? Why is it relevant?
• Scenarios
– What do we need to consider for ARV-based strategies to be effective for women?
• PEST framework
– Political, Environmental, Social, Technological
• Using scenarios to develop plans for the future
• Next steps
– After the workshop – then what?

WHAT DID WE LEARN?
What did we do?

10
Yes, we have compelling results from clinical trials, and make no mistake, we will have more. But the opinions, perspectives and lived wisdom of communities, from the grassroots to the grasstops, matter just as much as the peer-reviewed scientific data that are coming at us fast and furiously. How communities absorb, understand and prioritise the science matters.

Literature review conducted 2011, 2012

The grassroots – online survey

18
Grassroots: TLC+ very important
19
Grassroots: Yes to PrEP, but…
20
Grassroots: Microbicides important
21
Grassroots: PEP views variable
22
Need to take a cost-effectiveness point of view…Targeting
strategies is essential.
- US
How could we devise advocacy
and communications
campaigns to raise awareness of these
approaches?- India
Grassroots: In their own words
A tricky subject (PrEP) in a
community that is illiterate, poor, unemployed…
- SA

The grasstops – one-on-one interviews
25
Things are moving fast, may find
ourselves chasing events…
- US
Behavioural change and education is
key, not treatment as prevention.
- India
I am concerned that we are not including other
sub-Saharan African countries in this
analysis.- SA
Grasstops – Views on Mapping Pathways
26
This is the biggest mistake we can
make! Prevention is cheaper.
- US
In India, people don’t come in for
diagnosis early, so the question is if
you want to use it as a prevention strategy, how do you get them in
earlier?- India
Grasstops – Views on TLC+
We need to save lives and treat who needs treatment as
a first priority.- SA
27
We need to reach the people who are so
vulnerable they can’t negotiate condom usage
regularly.- US
It will be hard for an individual to accept they are ‘high risk’ and
should take this treatment.
- IndiaI think we can look at targeted PrEP use in high-risk groups, but that won’t be easy.
- SA
Grasstops – Views on PrEP
28
Discounted costs (making HIV rare relative to $
saved due to Tx and lost economic output)
- US
• Identification of main barriers
• Health system spillovers• Cost-per-case averted
- India• Cost-per-case averted• Discounted costs
• Experts’ views of impacts- SA
Grasstops – Most useful types of evidence?
29
Grasstops: Highly diverse views

32
What is an ‘ExpertLens’?
33
TLC+ strongest science, ready for implementation,where experts would allocate funds

Knowledge Exchange Workshops
• Public health officials, researchers, policy experts, ASO leaders, prevention programmers
• San Francisco – July 2013
• Atlanta – October 2013
• Washington, DC – October 2013

What is the future snapshot?
40
• A scenario is a logical and consistent picture of the future
• Scenarios help to provide insight into future developments in a given area
– We will use them to assess the health and research systems which will impact effectiveness of ARVs as prevention for women
• Scenarios help us to prepare for the future
– Analysis of the scenarios helps to identify the implications of the choices we make today
• Scenarios highlight links among different aspects of the future
Using scenarios to unpack the future
41
Three possible scenarios – a short introduction
• The ‘couture’ scenario
• The ‘ready to wear’ scenario
• The ‘one size fits all’ scenario
42
The scenarios spanned a research continuum and were ‘pulled’ apart to exaggerate and illustrate the future

46
• Learn from each other
• Build scenarios together
– Develop a PEST analysis
– Name and prioritize factors that relate to PEST
– Use prioritized factors to define a spectrum of outcomes
– Narrate scenarios
– Discuss actions within the scenarios
– Imagine ourselves as actors in the future
• Think about shaping actions and strategic next steps
What we’ll do over the next few days
47
• Develop a PEST analysis
– Allows one to identify the main external factors and drivers that will impact effectiveness of ARV-based prevention strategies for women
• Political & Regulatory
• Economic
• Social & Cultural
• Technological & Scientific
A Mapping Pathways PEST
48
• Why is the factor important to effectiveness of ARV-based prevention strategies?
– Is it more important for some strategies than for others?
• How would you rank the factors within each letter of the PEST?
– What is the most important political factor? What is least important? Why?
– What is the most important economic factor? What is least important? Why?
– What is the most important social factor? What is least important? Why?
– What is the most important technological factor? What is least important? Why?
Prioritising the PEST factors
49
We have implemented ARV-based PX and…
…we have no effectiveness, rate of new infections increases among
women…
… we have effectiveness,
and overall infection rate
decreases among
women……. It’s a mixed
bag, some reduction in rates among
some key pops of
women, but not all….
Dateline: 2023

Reminder – ARV-based interventions

PEP
Treatment
Microbicides
51
• Name each scenario
• What is the mix of ARV strategies?
– PrEP, PEP, Treatment, Microbicides
• How does each factor play into the scenario?
• How do the factors intersect?
• Why have we reached different effectiveness
levels?
We have implemented ARV-based PX and…
Dateline: 2023
52
• How were factors successfully addressed? What is in place to
make this happen?
• If factor was not successfully addressed, what goes wrong,
what doesn’t happen?
• What does “success” look like?
• What does “less than success” look like?
We have implemented ARV-based PX and…
Dateline: 2023
53
So now
what?
54
If we are to toss AIDS into the dustbin, we must do our best to understand the intersections of scientific discovery and community wisdom, address the truths in both, and move forward with decisions that take into consideration a full, robust interpretation of the evidence base.
Let us be done with AIDS.
