    Michael M. Cassell, Rose Wilcher, Reshmie A. Ramautarsing, Nittaya Phanuphak and Timothy D. Mastro
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):614-625; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00418

    Essentially all HIV transmission is from people living with HIV who are not virally suppressed. An HIV micro-epidemic control approach that differentiates treatment support and prevention services for people living with HIV and their network members according to viral burden could optimize the impact of epidemic control efforts.

    Using Digital Technology for Sexual and Reproductive Health: Are Programs Adequately Considering Risk?
    Loraine J. Bacchus, Kate Reiss, Kathryn Church, Manuela Colombini, Erin Pearson, Ruchira Naved, Chris Smith, Kathryn Andersen and Caroline Free
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2019, 7(4):507-514; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00239

    Digital technologies provide opportunities for advancing sexual and reproductive health and services but also present potential risks. We propose 4 steps to reducing potential harms: (1) consider potential harms during intervention design, (2) mitigate or minimize potential harms during the design phase, (3) measure adverse outcomes during implementation, and (4) plan how to support those reporting adverse outcomes.
