HIV This Week : what scientific journals

Welcome to the eighteenth issue of HIV This Week! This issue kicks off with open access publications (their advantages if you want to be cited and influence research, policy and programming),, male circumcision (acceptability in traditionally non-circumcising communities in 9 African countries), condoms (the new female nitrile condom – just how cost-effective could it be?), living with HIV (the profiles of women who disclose in Barbados; individual and structural constraints perpetuating multiple layers of stigma among Asians and Pacific Islanders in the US), gender (HIV risk behaviour and gender-based violence in rural South Africa), epidemiology (knowing the distribution of CD4 counts in a population improves health planning for treatment roll out; HIV subtype distributions around the world), network research (mapping social influence can be key in designing programmes), sexual behaviour (unsafe sexual practices among sex workers in Meru, Kenya), TB/HIV (moving faster towards universal access), and young people (internet programming to improve knowledge and attitudes in China).
