\"\"<\/a>On 20 July 2024, a community statement issued just before the AIDS 2024 conference, called for programmes aiming to reduce HIV-related stigma to be focussed on changing social structural concerns, rather than targeting behaviour change in people who are most affected.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Structural factors include various economic, social, political, legal, or organisational settings that are already linked to higher incidence of HIV.<\/p>\n

However, the statement also calls for greater funding to people in the key populations that are recognised as having high incidence of HIV compared to the general population.<\/p>\n

“Interventions that focus on changing an individual’s behavior will be less effective if a hostile environment or context, which shapes that behavior, is not also changed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The press statement is released in relation to the US programme that has funded HIV treatment for millions of people living with HIV globally. It also highlights a related 40-page publication on the framework for defining and achieving human rights for key populations affected by HIV. [2]<\/p>\n
