| schema:text | "In July 2018, Amsterdam will be hosting the 22nd International AIDS Conference. In the course of five days, over 15,000 specialists will come together and share their knowledge and expertise in the fight against AIDS. This is the largest conference on any global health issue in the world. First convened during the peak of the AIDS epidemic in 1985, it continues to provide a unique forum at the interface of science, advocacy, and human rights. Each conference is an opportunity to strengthen policies and programmes that can ensure an evidence-based response to the epidemic. The theme of AIDS 2018 is 'Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges' -- drawing attention to the need for a rights-based approach to reach key populations more effectively, such as those in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and regions of North Africa and the Middle East, where the epidemic continues to grow. When HIV/AIDS first appeared as a public health threat in the 1980s, the Netherlands faced the challenge head on, embracing scientific evidence and working with populations that tended to be marginalised and stigmatised in other countries. This booklet reviews the history of AIDS in Amsterdam, especially in the 1980s and early 1990s, when an AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence. At the start, there was little knowledge and tremendous fear. Fortunately, a great deal has changed since those days. Today, Amsterdam is a 'Fast Track City' that has committed to accelerating action to ensure that the world can reach the ambitious target of eradicating AIDS by 2030. AIDS 2018 aims to promote rights-based and evidence-based responses to HIV that are tailored to the needs of particularly vulnerable communities -- such as people living with HIV, displaced populations, men who have sex with men, people in enclosed settings, people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender people, women and girls, and young people -- and to collaborate in fighting the disease across national borders."--Page 5. |
