Join us as we screen "Pay or Quit" at the Global Village. In 2019 we created this fictional short movie to be used in trainings for street outreach teams. "Pay or Quit" is centered on the story of a Black Trans woman who's experiencing housing insecurity and struggling with addiction. We developed the script with a series of focus groups at CalPEP - the California Prostitutes Education Program - based in West Oakland, California. In late 2020 we'll be fundraising to create two more movies - one centered on the experiences of Black Cis-Women and one on Black Men who have sex with Men.

The 2020 landscape of HIV prevention research, development and implementation is complex and dynamic. With efficacy trials of preventive vaccines, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), long-acting injectables, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and multi-purpose prevention technologies (MPTs), to ongoing PrEP rollout, to the integration of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and HIV, the landscape requires multisectoral engagement and renewed resilience for HIV research and development (R&D) as a key component of the global HIV response.

Nurses Networking Zone is a place for people from around the globe to come together and celebrate the Year of the Nurse & Midwife, learn about the many contributions of nurses in the global response to HIV/AIDS and in and intersecting issues for global health. It's a virtual space for nurses to share their experiences, challenges and innovative solutions with others.

The objective of the “Global Fund Community Zone” is to cultivate a safe and vibrant space for peer linking and learning that will enhance meaningful community engagement in Global Fund-related issues and processes. The co-hosts will work collaboratively, with the Platforms focusing on communication and coordination support, and GFAN focusing on advocacy and domestic resource mobilization. The space will promote dialogue and experience exchange, as well as the sharing of tools, challenges and lessons.

The Youth Café acts as a place where youth can create connections with other activists over a delicious cup of (virtual) coffee. The Youth Café will help build meaningful, ongoing connections over the full conference period between young researchers, policy-makers, and people living with HIV, which could impact the research and policy agenda. Not only will connections be made, but new ideas for involving youth have the potential to be generated. Ultimately, it will become a place where youth can gather, feel connected over sharing coffee together, and empower each other.

Photo exhibition. In theory, the prognosis for a person diagnosed with HIV, Hepatitis C or TB is now better than it ever has been. In reality, that depends on where you live and who you are. Access to medicines is not equitable. Millions of people die each year because essential drugs are overpriced. Scientific advancements are worthless if they are out of reach. When health budgets won't stretch to treat everyone in need, the most vulnerable are left behind. Treatment activists around the world are fighting patent barriers to make medicines affordable. We won’t stop until everyone can access the life-saving medicines they deserve. www.makemedicinesaffordable.org

It's no secret. HIV and climate change are two of the world's most pressing issues; and those living in poverty are drastically impacted by a changing climate and health challenges such as HIV. For the past 12 years, LetsStopAIDS has partnered with the AIDS Foundation of South Africa and Food & Trees for Africa in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa to facilitate community workshops around preventing and addressing HIV. We are showcasing this unique photo exhibit of two beautiful partners: Dududu Drop-In Centre and The Khuphuka Project who are leading the next phase of Spread Trees, Not AIDS.
