California HIV/AIDS Research Program
Session Description
To guide evidence-based policies and programs to end the HIV epidemic statewide, the California HIV/AIDS Research Program funds two collaborative HIV Policy Research Centers. Our Centers at the University of California San Francisco and University of California Los Angeles involve multi-disciplinary teams of academic researchers and community partners working to conduct objective and rigorous HIV policy-relevant research that informs local and state-level policy in California. This session highlights the rapid-response research processes used by the Centers to identify research priorities, engage stakeholders, and disseminate findings in a timely manner. We will provide case examples of high-impact policy research that successfully bridged the gap between academic research and real-world policymaking, including recent projects on HIV decriminalization, PrEP access, and HIV and immigration. We will also showcase our efforts to understand and address the syndemics of HIV, HCV, and STIs in California through our collaboration with the Ending the Epidemics movement.

U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
Session Description
As PEPFAR continues to confront the challenges of assuring retention on life-long ART in patients, collaboration with communities, local independent civil society organizations and patients is urgent and critical. This collaboration helps PEPFAR programs and health institutions diagnose and pinpoint persistent problems, and identify both barriers and enablers of effective service and client outcomes at the facility level. Dr. Angeli Achrekar will discuss PEPFAR’s community-led monitoring approach, and community organizations will present on emerging best practices to gather routine quantitative and qualitative data about the quality of HIV services at health facilities, with a focus on getting input directly from recipients of HIV services to then improve the quality of services.
