☼ Journal of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology
An International Open Access Journal of the Proceedings of
the Institute of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology (iHASE)
quality assurance & continuing education through peer review

This inaugural issue propounds the vision for the establishment of jHASE - the Journal of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology, which is premised on the proposition that the applied epidemiology scope of work that the journal focusses on has not been adequately and incisively covered by scientific journals in general nor by those focused on HIV/AIDS and related STDs, TB and viral hepatitis in particular. The need to establish a body of exemplary reference literature which has undergone quality assurance through rigorous peer review, disseminate such findings and provide continuing education through open access media is particularly acute in parts of the world most adversely affected by HIV and related conditions. Through the jHASE open access platform, public health researchers and practitioners in the global response to HIV will have ready access to quality assurance and continuing education through peer review, and access to basic HIV/AIDS surveillance and epidemiologic data as well as the cutting edge methods of the field.
