Members of key populations experience disproportionate burdens of both HIV and violence. These epidemics are linked—violence increases HIV vulnerability and poses a barrier to HIV testing, disclosure and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Addressing both public health challenges simultaneously is an important strategy for epidemic control and the protection of human rights.

Significant resources have created strong ‘test and treat’ programs globally. What about those who test HIV negative? How can we strengthen the linkage of HIV-negative individuals to prevention programs in ways that work for them? In our recently completed Test-And-Prevent Analysis, the OPTIONS Consortium identifies practices for linking individuals from HIV testing to HIV prevention. This work aims to identify interventions that are effective, the enabling conditions that support linkage, and remaining questions.
