The world is talking about ending AIDS. AVAC’s advocacy is dedicated to realizing that vision. To get there we must:
Last week, the HIVR4P conference ended. As delegates returned to home, events unfolded that are all too familiar: pipe bombs and a massacre at synagogue in America; an extremist victory in Brazil’s election; consternation over the Ugandan president’s public remarks that voluntary medical male circumcision does not reduce HIV risk. As the conference recedes and real lives demand attention, this final update explores the question: how do we carry on?
Greetings from Madrid! Some meetings are a series of presentations, coffee breaks and cocktails. Others are these things plus something else—a sense of movement towards a consensus, a new commitment. As this HIV R4P conference enters its final day, we feel like it's safe to say that this conference heralded an energized, nuanced commitment to choice.
The Resource Tracking for HIV Prevention R&D Working Group (Working Group) launched its 14th annual report—which details 2017 investments—at the HIV Research for Prevention (HIVR4P) conference in Madrid.
In this first of a series of updates from the conference, we bring you a set of session updates, and this overall observation: #believewomen has no borders. It is everywhere. Even when the discourse is polite. Here in Madrid: Skilled, esteemed speakers are saying a lot and... silence speaks volumes.
