THE END OF AIDS IS WITHIN REACH –

BUT ONLY IF WE REDOUBLE OUR EFFORTS.

 

Are you a researcher, clinician, health care worker, civil society activist, living with or affected by

HIV, or otherwise interested in ways to tackle one of the greatest epidemics of modern times?

Join leading scientists, policy makers, advocates and funders to review the state of the HIV epidemic

in Japan and globally from a scientific, policy and human rights perspective. Discuss with us

what needs to be done, and by whom, to ensure that we do not miss the opportunity to end AIDS,

once and for all.
