Abstract
The recent publication of new WHO guidelines, including a call for antiretroviral therapy for everyone diagnosed with HIV regardless of CD4+ cell count and preexposure prophylaxis for people at substantial risk of HIV infection [1], marks an important moment for taking stock of what will be needed to take biomedical HIV prevention approaches to scale, and sustain them. As the author of a recent editorial in The Lancet [2] observes, these guidelines are ‘welcome but ambitious. […] No studies exist that address how such a strategy can be executed on a global scale’ (p. 1420).
