The Sustainable Development Goals in the HIV Response

This resource features personal stories of people living with or affected by HIV highlight how the AIDS response has increased inclusion, ensuring access to services for all, embracing diversity, and reaching vulnerable and marginalized people. The stories provide examples of how the AIDS response pioneered innovations, providing integrated service delivery, removing barriers to services, and working with communities. The stories also show that none of the remarkable progress in our efforts to end AIDS would have happened without partnerships, including with civil society, communities, the private sector, governments, international organizations and UNAIDS Cosponsors. Each chapter highlights the linkages between progress towards ending AIDS and a related SDG and is told from the very personal perspective of people affected by HIV and their communities. From Desire to Mona, from Christine to Sergey, from SDG 1 to SDG 17, people’s lives, hopes and futures are interconnected and interdependent.
