On July 27, 2007, the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA)'s Law, Policy and Ethics (LPE) Core and Project Parivartan convened a one-day mini-conference to bring together HIV prevention and microfinance (MF) researchers from a number of disciplines. The purpose of the meeting was to strategize about the role that structural interventions aimed at improving economic opportunity, in particular MF programs, can play in HIV prevention and overall health promotion both in the developed and developing world. Specifically, the event focused on the strengths and limitations, successes and failures, of MF initiatives; research gaps and research priorities in understanding HIV and health related impacts; and alternative interventions for addressing economic vulnerability that have the potential to impact on HIV risk.
