AIDS 2022: What the HIV movement brings to pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response

What the HIV movement brings to pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response

When COVID first appeared, the HIV movement quickly found ways to sustain services and adapt to include COVID awareness and prevention in their work. Since then, HIV/AIDS activists have also contributed to shaping the emerging pandemic preparedness prevention and response agenda, including the international treaty on pandemics currently under development. This event will examine how we can best ensure a strong voice for the HIV/AIDS movement in discussions on what governance and financing architecture for PPPR should look like, and will also explore opportunities and challenges that the PPPR agenda poses for our shared goal of ending AIDS.
