2 } Botswana has the second highest HIV prevalence rate 19% BIAS IV } Highest rates in Africa for indicators of progress, such as 55% coverage routine and voluntary testing and counseling the highest fraction of AIDS patients who receive ART (> 90%) the highest fraction of HIV-positive pregnant women tested with chemoprophylaxis to reduce MTCT (>96%) } new annual HIV infections declining by 71 percent between 2001 and 2011

8 Part I Does the addition of nevirapine to AZT further reduce MTCT? Part I modified: Is maternal NVP needed if all mothers received ZDV and their infants ZDV + NVP? } Part II Is 6 months of breastfeeding along with 6 months of prophylactic AZT to the baby a safe alternative to formula feeding? Sample size: 1200 Mother/infant pairs Funded PI Max Essex, Co-PI Ibou Thior

13 } GOAL To demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of a prevention package to reduce HIV incidence in Mochudi, a village with 37,000 people in southern Botswana with an HIV prevalence of 25% in adults } SPECIFIC AIMS Monitor incidence through repeated door-to-door HTC surveys Implement a prevention package including treatment of individuals with HVL irrespective of CD4, smc, PMTCT, behavioral messages Explore potential transmission clusters within Mochudi by using epidemiological data (partner notification) and viral genome signature tracing Develop mathematical models to identify comprehensive control strategies which capitalize on synergies among individual prevention measures Identification & Treatment of High Viral Load >50,000
