On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Globally, almost 38 million people are living with HIV. HPTN 071 (PopART) is the largest HIV prevention trial to date, taking place in 21 communities in Zambia and South Africa with a combined population of more than 1 million people. As part of the trial an individual-based mathematical model was developed to help in planning the trial, to help interpret the results of the trial, and to make projections both into the future and to areas where the trial did not take place. In this talk I will outline the individual-based mathematical model used in the trial, the inference framework, and will discuss examples of how the results from the model have been used to help inform policy decisions.
