Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Men remain a blind spot in the global HIV epidemic. This Special Issue focuses on all aspects of HIV testing, prevention and care and implications for the HIV epidemic among men. We welcome articles from all disciplines, including but not limited to the following: epidemiology, clinical research, implementation science, sociology and anthropology. Special emphasis will be placed on articles discussing strategies to improve HIV testing, linkage to care and/or prevention, and mental health among men and male partners of birthing people during the perinatal and postpartum periods.
The Special Issue will publish original articles, reviews, technical notes, case reports, and interesting images.
