Treatment as Prevention: Arriving at Community Consensus

At a satellite meeting preceding the 2013 Controlling the HIV Epidemic With Antiretrovirals evidence summit in London, England, a group of organizations and advocates discussed and formulated the final draft of a document, the Community Consensus Statement on the Use of Antiretroviral Therapy in Preventing HIV Transmission, that succinctly outlines a set of principles that should be followed in the provision of antiretroviral therapy to people with living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) for the purposes of preventing HIV, particularly as a public health measure. The satellite meeting's conclusions were subsequently outlined in a presentation and panel discussion at the evidence summit.
