The International AIDS Conference gathers together those working in the field of HIV, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic. It is a chance to assess where we are, evaluate recent scientific developments and lessons learnt, and collectively chart a course forward. Given the 2010 deadline for universal access set by world leaders, AIDS 2010 will coincide with a major push for expanded access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, despite the current global economic crisis threatening to undermine public investments. The Conference aims to demonstrate the importance of continued HIV investments to broader health and development goals. AIDS 2010 is also an opportunity to highlight the critical connection between human rights and HIV – a dialogue begun in Mexico City in 2008. The AIDS 2010 programme will present new scientific knowledge and offer opportunities for structured dialogue on the major issues facing the global response to HIV.
