The purpose of this session is to present the recommendations from a recent Think Tank meeting convened by WHO SEARO, along with UN partners and communities, on “Revisiting the Strategies for Interventions among Key Populations for HIV”. This meeting observed that the interest and investment on Key population interventions were on the decline while majority of new infections in Asia are still associated with the Key populations and their partners. Failure to render adequate services for the key populations and partners will result in the Universal Health Coverage remaining elusive for people who are left behind. This satellite will present the evidence and way forward on intensifying the focus on Key populations and leveraging ‘AIDS Assets’ in order to guide UN agencies, donors, communities and other partners in re-aligning their current HIV programmes to reach 2020 targets on way to ending AIDS by 2030.
