Quick Hit: New Study on PEPFAR in Zambia Reveals Mixed Results

From RH Reality Check:

Researchers Eran Bendavid, MD, and Jayanta Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, from Stanford University recently released findings from their study on the effectiveness of PEPFAR’s programs…The report, released in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that the U.S. effort to curb the global HIV/AIDS epidemic has been a mixed bag. The study found that significant progress has been made in the areas of care and treatment, a laudable accomplishment of the first phase of implementation. But the report also confirmed what too many of us had seen coming – we have not made any significant progress in curbing new infections because our prevention efforts have failed.
