21ST INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE
DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA
18-22 JULY 2016

The 21st International AIDS Conference will be held in the South African city of Durban.

This year's theme “Access Equity Rights Now”, is a call to action to work together and reach out to the people who still lack access to comprehensive treatment, prevention, care and support services. More than 60% of people living with HIV remain without antiretroviral therapy, many marginalized groups remain under-prioritized in the response, investments in HIV prevention research appear to have flattened, and widespread violations of human rights including criminalisation continue to undermine effective responses.

AIDS 2016: The International AIDS Conference is the largest conference on any global health or development issue. First convened during the peak of the AIDS epidemic in 1985, this conference continues to provide a unique forum for the intersection of science and advocacy, and an opportunity to strengthen policies and programmes to ensure an evidence-based response to the epidemic. The conference also serves as a focal point to intensify political and financial commitments to AIDS.
