The session highlights emerging findings on mobility and engagement in the HIV care cascade in the era of universal test and treat. The event is based on themes raised in a special issue of the Journal of the International AIDS Society, to be released at the conference. Despite the importance of mobility in the spread of HIV, the magnitude of its effects on HIV care engagement and effectiveness of ART as treatment and prevention has not been adequately examined. This satellite aims to stimulate focus and commitment towards meeting this critical challenge. It features five thematic presentations and a facilitated discussion, on: 1. Complex forms of mobility in Africa: impacts on the HIV care cascade; 2. Gendered livelihoods, mobility and health care engagement; 3. Mobility and sexual and reproductive health; 4. Improving responses to migration and HIV treatment in Africa; 5. Migrants in Europe: human rights and the care cascade.
