The state of the HIV/AIDS endemic is reaching a critical point requiring evaluation of the current state of the global response, progress made thus far, and planning for post-2030 goals. The National Academy of Medicine is hosting a timely international meeting to facilitate discussion on these issues.
This one-day workshop is being held on September 18, 2024, from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM US Eastern. Ambassador John N. Nkengasong, the Senior Bureau Official for Global Health Security and Diplomacy at the U.S. State Department, will deliver the opening remarks. His address will set the stage for discussions across three subsequent panels.
Broadly, the goals of this workshop are to:
- Explore how we can re-energize the global HIV response to reach the 2030 goals but also to look beyond.
- Craft strategies to increase and sustain political commitment.
- Highlight global accountability and domestic-donor financing.
