European Health Forum Gastein 2019: Transforming HIV responses in Europe

Transforming HIV responses in Europe
Focus on disruptive community actions
Wednesday, 2 October 2019
#EHFG2019

Organised by MSD and the European AIDS Treatment Group
Disruptive community action has been a cornerstone of public health responses to HIV. However, HIV infection rates need to fall faster in Europe if the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are to be met, and spikes in HIV infection rates in some countries require urgent attention. In parallel, long-term outcomes during chronic HIV treatment must be improved. Transforming HIV responses to address these challenges will require rejuvenated, disruptive community advocacy together with innovative, people-centered care approaches.
