#Justice#Equality#Inclusion are key pillars for us to end the HIV epidemic,Yet stigmatizing laws ,unfavorable policy environments make this seemingly impossible!We always recognize key populations in our HIV prevention strategies & yet organizations reaching to them are banned!
To end HIV for children & adolescents, we need to scale up proven technologies for identifying, testing & treating HIV in children & adolescents & remove barriers to access.
