AREF is recruiting Peer Reviewers

The Africa Research Excellence Fund (AREF) is currently recruiting active scientists with about 5 to 10 years postdoctoral research experience relevant to Africa’s human health challenges to the AREF College of Experts.

The primary role of College members is to advise AREF on the quality of applications for funding and to provide constructive feedback for the applicants.

They are especially keen to recruit African researchers from Africa, working in the sub-region or overseas, who have a demonstrable track record of research, including in project leadership, researcher supervision, mentorship and international collaboration. Commitment to bringing on a new generation of potential research leaders in Africa is essential.

JIAS Special Issue: Men & HIV

The Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS) has launched its new Supplement entitled “Men & HIV: insights from sub-Saharan Africa”, which can be accessed here

There is growing recognition that engaging men will be key to reaching the 95-95-95 UNAIDS targets for HIV. In 2017, UNAIDS released the report “Blind Spot: Reaching out to men and boys” acknowledging that men are disproportionately less likely than women to know their HIV status, less likely to access and adhere to HIV treatment and more likely to die as a result of AIDS-related illnesses. If we are to reach the goal of no new HIV transmissions by 2030, improved engagement of men across the HIV care cascade is critical.
