SUMMARY:A geospatial modeling analysis of travel-time\, bicycles\, and HIV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Malawi
DESCRIPTION:UNAIDS has proposed an ambitious strategy for ending the HIV pandemic. Their strategy depends upon achieving a treatment coverage goal of 90% by 2030. However\, distance to healthcare and lack of transportation are major barriers to accessing HIV treatment in SSA. I will use data-based geospatial modeling to determine their potential impact as barriers to elimination in Malawi. I will address two specific questions: How much time would people living with HIV (PLHIV) need to spend travelling to access treatment in order for Malawi to achieve UNAIDS’ goal of 90% coverage? Could providing bicycles to rural communities help eliminate HIV?\nOur results show that it will only be possible to achieve UNAIDS’ 90% coverage goal in Malawi if many of the PLHIV (who have yet to initiate treatment) are willing\, and able\, to spend a great deal of time travelling to access treatment. Additionally\, they show that making bicycles available to PLHIV in rural areas has the potential to make the 90% target goal more attainable\, and hence to help eliminate HIV in Malawi.
