Retention on antiretroviral therapy and drivers of lost-to-follow up in the Central African Republic: a longitudinal analysis

Resilience in a time of polycrises: How HIV programmes are adapting to climate, humanitarian, political and social crises

Acute and protracted climatic events, hostile anti-LGBTQI environments, and political and civil unrest threaten to reverse gains in HIV prevention and treatment outcomes and disrupt even the most agile and adaptive HIV services. Synergistically, these multiple crises - or polycrises - create barriers to HIV and other lifesaving services that are in greater demand as HIV risk, trauma, violence, and other economic and social stressors are exacerbated. This session will explore the HIV response in the context of polycrises and highlight actions that actors are taking to promote preparedness and mitigate negative impacts. Speakers will share how HIV programmes have adapted to ensure continuity of HIV prevention, care and treatment in addition to other critical services to vulnerable groups; gaps that persist; and ways forward. The session will conclude with a call to action for donors, policy makers, implementers and communities. The session was organized by FHI 360, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Department of State Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) during the International AIDS Conference 2024.
