Lancet Commission 2015: Defeating AIDS
2015
This UNAIDS-Lancet Commission report provides a review and plan for action on defeating HIV/AIDS with a whole-of-society perspective. After more than a decade of major achievements, the AIDS response is at a crucial juncture, both in terms of its immediate trajectory and its sustainability, as well as its place in the new global health and development agendas. In May 2013, the UNAIDS–Lancet Commission—a diverse group of experts in HIV, health, and development, young people, people living with HIV from affected communities, activists, and political leaders—was established to investigate how the AIDS response could evolve in a new era of sustainable development. This report brings together important key lessons of the AIDS response, including its broad perspective, and provides an informative and transformational vision for other spheres of global health.
Accompanying resources include a video from the UNAIDS–Lancet Commission launch and a podcast from the author which outlines key themes and priorities emerging from the UNAIDS–Lancet Commission.
