Midnight’s interviews on different topics
“Implementation science is important for the HIV response because it means, it needs to work with the community on the ground, who are basically right at the frontline of where the epidemic is. So without the support from the scientific community, working in collaboration with the community at the frontline, HIV response will not have an impact at all.”
