E-NEWS AIDS ACTION EUROPE
MEMBER AND PARTNER MEETING 2019
AIDS Action Europe would like to thank to all our members and partners for their participation and support in our Member and Partner Meeting 2019!
Criminalisation of HIV non-disclosure, exposure and transmission – one could think that this is not an issue anymore. The contrary is true: It is a growing phenomenon in our region that has direct and deep impact on human rights. 

This is why the AIDS Action Europe Steering Committee decided to take this topic up in its 2019 Member and Partner Meeting and combine it with partner notification and the impact criminalisation has on partner notification. The meeting took place in Berlin on Saturday, October 19 and was attended by 41 participants representing member and partner organisations from 23 countries from the WHO European Region.
