These communities include people living with HIV, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers, transgender people, indigenous groups and other stakeholders and HIV activists.
Participants from different regions of the world will share their experiences on HIV prevention and treatment and the challenges and successes in working with the medical and scientific community. A report of the event will be posted on this webpage.
