The Biomedical HIV Prevention Forum will:

• Promote synergy between HIV prevention science and program.

The forum will create a space to share different perspectives and experiences, and it will provide opportunities to make new connections and build networks that will make actors and players in the HIV prevention field even more effective in our efforts to stop the spread of HIV in Africa.

At the end of the meeting, the reports around four themes:

• Stock taking on continental  investment in new HIV prevention tools research and development
• Efforts at integrating HIV prevention with HIV treatment, care and support, human rights and research
• Successes and gaps with current HIV prevention programmes and use of existing HIV prevention tools
• Consensus on way forward at addressing HIV prevention in Africa – community, researcher, government and frontliners perspectives

These outcomes shall be developed as policy briefs and circulated to all relevant stakeholders within 3 months of the end of the conference.
