Figure 1
Example of use of HIV Prevention Cascades at Programme Level. Diagram starts with population at risk of HIV, identifies those who would benefit from a primary prevention intervention package, and for each intervention identifies gaps in protection. For one intervention, oral PrEP, the right side of the diagram suggests how a cascade analysis can identify and address the largest gaps.
