Vijiji Tanzania notifies the short cut strategy for global goals for HIV prevention through community herd immunity.
Though important progress has been made, the crisis UNAIDS called out in 2016 persists today with new infections around 1.7 million annually, a far cry from the 2020 target of fewer than 500,000. So, we asked ourselves, Now What?, Vijiji Tanzania present a cross-cutting analysis and an advocacy agenda to engage HIV vaccination.
Vijiji Tanzania reinforce the fact that an epidemic can be controlled with treatment. However prevention—just as HIV is coming under control today. However, prevention through vaccine can further sustain the end of the Epidemic. Our core message is simple: No end without a vaccine.
Existing options for prevention and treatment must be scaled up to bring down rates of new infections, but a vaccine is an essential component of a long-term end to the HIV epidemic
