Co-Chairs:

The AIDS response is proving to be a critical driver for the SDG agenda today. This session will focus on results that political leadership has delivered in certain parts of Europe. It will also look at what more can be achieved with a coherent policy framework both at the European level and within countries across the European Union to ensure that no one is left behind in the AIDS response. Today the HIV, TB and syphilis epidemics continue to rise especially among key populations in Eastern Europe and in parts of southern Europe, and it will be critical to continue to work to address this. All over Europe, political will is needed to overcome policy and legal barriers that still hinder access to services by key populations. It is important to hear from the leadership of some key governments in the European Union about how to take this work forward and ensure that innovations are accessible to all.
This session will be an opportunity to bring together some innovations and best practices and discuss what can be learnt from the work of individual member states today to inform the directions of future work.
