The science of HIV has never been better. Yet while some countries and communities have seen rapid declines in deaths and new infections, others see growing epidemics. Now more than ever, laws and policies are determinants of HIV—helping communities access the benefits of science and realize their rights, or blocking progress. From the UN General Assembly, join us for a discussion about science, policy, and human rights at the launch of the HIV Policy Lab—a new effort to track policies around the world and learn from what works.
