The world has made great progress in containing HIV since the epidemic peaked in the late 1990s. But there are still more than 2 Mapping Pathways used four multimodal, complementary methodologies to

Though ARV-based prevention strategies show promise, they raise complex challenges, including access, cost, behavioral impacts, and stakeholders and experts and ”grassroots” communities are engaged in reflexive
drug resistance. The broader empirical evidence base for approval and implementation is still under development. and iterative exchanges of knowledge about the evidence needed for policy
development, is a methodological innovation in itself.
Mapping Pathways is a unique, community-led, study which is providing a multi-layered (scientific and stakeholder-based) synthesis of
the evidence base for ARV-based prevention strategies which tackle the HIV epidemic.
RESULTS
3. Forty-three stakeholders (India – 9; South Africa – 13; United States – 19, plus two small focus groups
in the US) were interviewed across the three countries in order to understand the decisionmaking

W hat for that an adaptive approach to policy development is required. This will enable understanding of the scientific data
behind the strategies (the physical technologies in red, on the left), but also knowing what 'social technologies'
(in grey) are needed to shape their implementation in culturally appropriate ways. An important series of
questions are raised about the systems in which these strategies might be introduced (in purple), and the
pathways needed to guide them.
Mapping Pathways has six partner organisations: AIDS Foundation of Chicago, AIDS United, Baird's CMC, Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, Naz India and RAND. Mapping Pathways is funded by an initial grant from
Merck & Co., as well as an additional NIH ‘Be the Generation Bridge’ grant for dissemination and community engagement activities.
