The first European HIV Academy for Enabling Legal Environments took place in Berlin, Germany on September 13-14, 2017 with the participation of 30 advocates and community representatives from 20 countries addressing legal and regulatory barriers such as HIV-criminalization, the criminalization of key populations and over-medicalized HIV testing regulations.
Besides increasing awareness and understanding of how legal environments can present barriers to accessing prevention, testing, treatment and care services, the meeting was also a fantastic opportunity to develop and improve relationships and networks within and across Europe.
The Training Academy was a joint collaboration of the HIV Justice Network, AIDS Action Europe, European AIDS Treatment Group and Global Network of People living with HIV (GNP+)
