Making the end of AIDS real : consensus building around what we mean by “epidemic control” — a meeting convened by the UNAIDS Science Panel — Glion, Switzerland, 4–6 October 2017

Over the course of the three days of the meeting, a shared understanding was achieved that strong measures and targets for HIV service coverage and the impact target for ending AIDS as a public health threat are already in place. There was agreement that a new summary metric that signals countries’ progress towards ending AIDS as a public health threat and ultimately zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths would be a useful addition to (a) dispel the notion that AIDS is no longer a problem or that a tipping point of certain success will soon be reached, and (b) to help drive policy-makers and galvanize continued political commitment and financial investment in the HIV response.
