Individuals from the five sites that participated in the Prevention Marketing Initiative (PMI) Local Site Demonstration Project, an HIV prevention program targeting adolescents, were interviewed in a two-part qualitative case study. This article summarizes lessons learned from 179 community participants on topics ranging from organizing initial planning committees to financially sustaining federal demonstration programs over time. The insights of participants involved in the process may help ensure the success of future Prevention Marketing efforts. Overall, they found the process to be challenging but worthwhile, and felt that the resulting multifaceted HIV prevention programs for young people were successful.

AbstractA key component of current global HIV prevention efforts is widespread HIV testing. This strategy in part reflects the focus on the broader global targets to eliminate AIDS by achieving high rates of viral suppression. In this chapter we look at young people’s engagement with HIV prevention options in South-West Uganda. Taking a qualitative approach, using repeat in-depth interviews and participatory workshops with 50 young people aged 16–24 years old, we reflect on their accounts of how they navigate risks and opportunities within their daily lives. These risks include HIV-acquisition, but also the harms of economic precarity. Within a context in which using HIV prevention methods, such as condoms or abstinence, were for various reasons severely compromised by their contextual realities, some young people reported relying on irregular HIV testing as their singular method. The young people’s accounts demonstrate that an unintended consequence of the ‘push’ for HIV testing may be the justification of its replacement of other behavioural prevention strategies. This case study illustrates what impact such biomedical interventions may have if implemented as a priority and in isolation from the structural drivers of vulnerability: the social context of young people’s lives.

Be The Change

Given the vast potential to intervene in prison settings, this chapter provides the background and a corresponding case study as to how structural-level approaches might be used to prevent HIV acquisition/transmission in prison settings. A peer-based model that empowers inmates to be the change agents is described. The chapter offers a compelling case that peer education programs created, managed, and administered by incarcerated persons have significant and often unrecognized potential. It begins with an overview of HIV in US prisons, followed by a description of peer education programs and HIV prevention and World AIDS Day in Prison using three correctional facilities as examples. Implications and conclusions close out the chapter.
