The conference, organized by the International AIDS Society, sought to disseminate knowledge about HIV and further develop evidence-informed responses to the epidemic. The theme, “Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges,” emphasized the need for human rights-based approaches to HIV, with a particular focus on vulnerable communities and on regions in which the epidemic is growing.

SHOPS Plus’ corporate engagement advisor, Lauren Weir, presented a poster co-authored by Sarah Dominis, human resources for health technical advisor at Abt Associates, and Emma Golub, associate analyst for SHOPS Plus. The poster discussed the findings from a SHOPS Plus qualitative study, which was conducted to (1) identify effective strategies and tools used by private providers to grow and retain human resources for health and incorporate community-based prevention and outreach activities, and (2) consider how to better engage private providers to support an effective health workforce for HIV. The study was comprised of a global literature review and case studies of private organizations in South Africa and India.
