Beyond Bounds: Reimagining Implementation Science for a Changing World
Implementation science research is urgently needed to address the persistent gap between proven HIV interventions and their effective delivery in real-world settings. Despite the availability of tools like PrEP, ART, and self-testing, many individuals—especially in marginalized communities—remain underserved.
Barriers at the system, provider, and community levels hinder uptake, adherence, and long-term engagement in care. As new technologies emerge, such as long-acting injectables and digital health tools, implementation research is essential to guide their equitable, scalable, and sustainable integration.
Without evidence-based strategies to optimize delivery, the goal of ending the HIV epidemic will remain out of reach.
The VISTA Conference offers a dedicated platform to explore these challenges, share evidence, and advance solutions that bring proven interventions into practice.
We hope to see you at the 2nd VISTA Conference in 2028!
