HIV Testing, Treatment and Prevention:
Generic Tools for Operational Research
As part of efforts to obtain evidence to inform the public health approach to HIV treatment and prevention, the Population Council collaborated with the HIV/AIDS Department of the World Health Organization to develop tools, "HIV Testing, Treatment and Prevention: Generic Tools for Operational Research" for operational research on topics that have relevance to programs.
The tools include:

- HIV testing and counseling
- 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:
