It's a day later and I'm still thinking about the presentations (including by my colleague Jessica Posner) during yesterday's satellite session at #AIDS2024 about current approaches and opportunities in #HIV-related implementation outcomes measures and measurement. I'm looking forward to sharing new insights with my team and applying them to our #implementationscience work JSI, such as a #SPNS project to identify #telehealth strategies to maximize HIV care: https://lnkd.in/ew-cBX4y Highlights from yesterday's session included: ?? Whitney Irie, Ph.D. explained that #acceptability, as traditionally defined in #implementationscience, is fundamentally incomplete and incompatible with the complexity of HIV implementation science, using examples from her research on #equitable access and effective implementation of #PrEP for black women in the U.S. Dr. Irie discussed the impact of power dynamics and the "illusion of choice" on acceptability as an implementation outcome, and offered alternative measures for consideration, such as delight, joy, appreciation, and usability. ?? My colleague Jessica Posner told the story of developing a #personcentered care measurement tool for HIV service delivery, highlighting the importance of an iterative improvement process guided by feedback from teams using the tool within HIV treatment facilities. And the process is not over. JSI plans to use the process and lessons learned from this experience to adapt the tool for other areas, like HIV #integration into #primaryhealthcare, #TB, and #familyplanning, and translate it into other languages.

Because of effective HIV treatment, people with HIV are now living longer than ever. This means that people with HIV are now living in residential care, like nursing or care homes. In our video, Jonathan Blake and Jo Josh talk about getting better treatment in residential care. Find out more on aidsmap: https://lnkd.in/eMVVdF73
