HIV testing, treatment and prevention: generic tools for operational research
As part of its efforts to obtain evidence to inform the public health approach to HIV treatment and prevention, the HIV/AIDS Department of the World Health Organization has developed tools for operational research on topics that have relevance to programmes. The tools include:
- A main document which is intended to serve as a basis for formulating research questions and designing an operational research project to address them. The document includes 4 sections:
- HIV testing and counselling
- HIV stigma and discrimination
- Adherence to antiretrovirals
- HIV prevention in the context of scaled-up access to HIV treatment
- Data collection instruments covering the above topics, from which relevant modules can be selected. At present, the following instruments are available:
- A questionnaire for collecting data from clients at health facilities
- A questionnaire for collecting data from health care providers at health facilities
