Abstract

Purpose of review: This review evaluates recent literature to understand the ways in which war disrupts HIV prevention and creates conditions for HIV outbreaks, with a focus on Ukraine. We also examine potential responses that can be deployed to sustain HIV prevention services amid ongoing conflict.

Recent findings: Recent studies and frameworks suggest that disruptions caused during war are comparable to other emergencies, like natural disasters. The most important disruptions included health system/infrastructure destabilization, displacement, and psychological and financial challenges for individuals in key populations. Wars in most settings, as exemplified by the recent war in Ukraine, demonstrate that these disruptions can be tempered through a coordinated, rapid response. Lesson learned from Ukraine show that adequate preparation and a rapid, collaborative response by providers is needed to ensure HIV prevention during war. Future research should develop comprehensive frameworks outlining how to facilitate this response.

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
