  ARE WELCOME\n\nAbstract:\n\nDespite a long-standing commitment to curb it
 s epidemic\, Côte d’Ivoire has the highest recorded HIV prevalence in West
  Africa. Soon after the first AIDS case was reported in 1986 in Abidjan\, 
 a national response was mounted and a range of interventions have been sca
 led up during the 1990s and 2000s to address this health crisis. Most nota
 bly\, these include: condom interventions\, antiretroviral therapy (ART)\,
  and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) activities. Today\
 , the UNAIDS aims to “end the AIDS epidemic as a major global health threa
 t by 2030” by considerably scaling up testing and treatment access (i.e.\,
  the UNAIDS 90-90-90 objective). In order to better understand the epidemi
 c and estimate the population-level impact of different interventions\, I 
 developed a detailed age-stratified dynamical model of HIV transmission\, 
 parameterized it using local data\, and fitted it to prevalence and progra
 mmatic data using a Bayesian framework. In this talk\, I will (1) briefly 
 discuss the role of models in impact evaluation\, (2) assess the populatio
 n-level impact of past HIV interventions (condoms\, ART\, and PMTCT) in Cô
 te d’Ivoire\, and (3) estimate the effect on HIV transmission of accelerat
 ing the national response to reach UNAIDS 90-90-90 objective by 2020.\n\nB

 He obtained a doctoral degree in Global Health & Population from the Harva
 rd TH Chan School of Public Health (ScD’15)\, Master’s degrees from ���ϲ�����
  University in both Epidemiology (MSc’09) and Ecology (MSc’05)\, and an un
 dergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the Université de Montréal 
 (BSc’03). Dr. Maheu-Giroux’s work spans the areas of population health\, e
 pidemiology\, and infectious diseases. Over the last years\, he has focuse
 d primarily on impact evaluations of public health interventions\, measure
 ments and disease burden assessments\, and behavioral interventions to con
 trol infectious diseases.\n\nwww.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.maheu-giroux\n\n
