Description
In this book, the aids2031 Consortium's experts examine the first 30 years of the AIDS response and propose options for the future, focusing on what needs to be done differently now to change the face of AIDS by 2031, which will mark 50 years since AIDS was first reported. They address the full scope of the pandemic: basic science, public health, funding, treatment options, and social and societal impacts. Then, they review the full spectrum of possible responses over the next two decades, carefully assess progress, and discuss both persistent and emerging challenges. Written to be easily understandable by all readers, this book is the single best source of reliable information on where the AIDS pandemic stands today, where it's headed, and what can be done to create better outcomes between now and 2031. The future of AIDS-What has been accomplished and what remains to be done Generating new knowledge and using it more effectively-Focusing scientific research and efficiently applying what it yields Planning for more effective prevention-Creating programs that work better and offer greater local ownership Financing AIDS programs for the next generation-Overcoming donor fatigue and other challenges The aids2031 Consortium is a worldwide group of AIDS scientists, public health officials, social scientists, activists, and policy experts who have come together to look at the global AIDS response 30 years after the disease was first reported and recommend the best way forward over the next 20 years in this ongoing global crisis. aids2o31 charts options to achieve the best possible outcomes for the future based on innovative thinking, critical analysis, and public debate. It aims to mobilize the global AIDS response to take a long-term view and consider the future consequences of our actionsùor inactionsùin the AIDS response today. The aids2031 vision is not about what we should do in 2031, but what we can do differently now, to change the face of the pandemic by 2031.
