What’s Preventing Us From Preventing: Pushing Together Towards the UNAIDS 2030 HIV Prevention Goals
Improved HIV prevention awareness, education, and access are essential for protecting those who might benefit and helping tackle the epidemic. At what promises to be an exciting AIDS 2024 congress, Gilead is proud to sponsor an interactive and engaging symposium that aims to instil a sense of urgency around addressing the unmet needs and health inequities that exist in HIV prevention globally.
An international panel of individuals with lived experience and subject matter experts will explore the necessity of system changes; emphasize the importance of person-centered care; and spotlight the crucial use of creative solutions to address health inequities, unmet needs, and stigma. Vitally, these discussions are intended to inspire collective efforts from all attendees towards achieving the UNAIDS 2030 HIV prevention targets and helping end the HIV epidemic together.
Across a varied agenda, the following objectives will be addressed:
  • Highlight current challenges in ending the global HIV epidemic and underscore the need to drive towards the updated UNAIDS goals that now highlight the increasingly important role of HIV prevention.
  • Advocate for change towards the prioritization and normalization of HIV prevention in public health agendas, to reduce stigma and inequities, in order to end the HIV epidemic.
  • Foster open dialogue about the need to reimagine HIV prevention strategies to provide person-centered options, as a critical lever in reaching global targets.

Programme:
