About aids2031
The world has been managing the global AIDS epidemic for more than 25 years. 2031 will mark 50 years since the first report of AIDS. While great strides have been made, there are persisting as well as emerging challenges that must be addressed.
aids2031 is not about what we should do in 2031, but what we can do differently now, to change the face of the pandemic by 2031.
aids2031 is a consortium of partners who have come together to look at what we have learned about the AIDS response as well as consider the implications of the changing world around AIDS.
Love in the Time of HIV
Love in the Time of HIV is a five-episode documentary series exploring young peoples' lives in five cities around the world. Each episode profiles several young people living with HIV in a different city: New York, Mumbai, London, St. Petersburg, and Cape Town. The programs can be viewed throughout December '08 on the BBC World (access country specific schedules here), or watch each episode on the aids2031 website.
Despite the glaring statistics that today’s youth around the world are often most at risk of HIV infection, and the host of issues young people face daily – from skyrocketing unemployment rates to sexual violence and rapidly unfolding conflict situations – very little is known about the views and behaviors of young people, especially when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health.
