XVI International AIDS Conference www.aids2006.org
Toronto hosted the XVI International AIDS
Conference (AIDS 2006) from August 12th - 18th, 2006. The AIDS conference is
the largest conference on a single health issue. The participants included over 20,000
researchers, government leaders, community workers, activists and
people living with HIV/AIDS. The biennial conference plays a critical role in
setting the agenda for global response to the HIV pandemic.
Young people - especially young women - are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, representing over 50% of new HIV infections occurring annually. However, young people are often excluded and/or marginalized in the global response. The International AIDS Conference is a crucial opportunity for youth to advocate to decision-makers and to scale up their involvement.
