TL;DR: Through prioritisation of the people and locations at greatest risk of infection, and adaption of the interventions to reflect the local epidemiological context, the focused approach could substantially increase the efficiency and effectiveness of investments in HIV prevention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a public health approach to combination prevention that understands that risk is not evenly distributed and that effective interventions can vary by risk profile, and focus should be on high-transmission geographies, people at highest risk for HIV, and the package of interventions that are most likely to have the largest effect in each different microepidemic.

TL;DR: Couple prevention interventions should begin early in relationships and include mutual knowledge of HIV status, reduction of outside sexual partners, and promotion of male circumcision among HIV-uninfected men.

TL;DR: The qualitative findings reveal that some women found testing regimes to be coercive, while disclosure remains highly problematic, and the strategy of testing women in antenatal care when they are already pregnant needs to be rethought.

TL;DR: The vast majority of HIV-infected persons in Kenya are unaware of their HIV status, posing a major barrier to HIV prevention, care and treatment efforts and new approaches to HIV testing provision and education, including home-based testing, may increase coverage.
