Sex, rights and the law in a world with AIDS
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. ICRW is a co-convener of the social drivers group, a collaborative effort to examine the key political, social and economic “drivers” behind the epidemic. In this paper, the authors summarize the reports and recommendations from the meeting, Sex, Rights and the Law in a World with AIDS, which convened several leading organizations to explore why the AIDS response has made relatively little progress on the prevention of sexually transmitted HIV and what should be done to ensure a more effective long-term response.
