Submissions for Independent Conference Hubs Open on 16 March
Conference hubs will provide AIDS 2010 content directly to people around the world through screenings of selected conference sessions and moderated local discussions of how a session’s content can be used or is relevant locally. Some hubs may also feature workshops and trainings.
AIDS 2010 is encouraging organizations around the world to host independent conference hubs. Organizations hosting a conference hub will have a unique opportunity to engage regional leadership, gain visibility and build partnerships. Organizations that may wish to consider hosting an independent conference hub include local NGOs, faith-based organizations, clinics and hospitals, universities and medical schools, government entities, and UN bodies.

AIDS 2010 Theme
Rights Here, Right Now emphasizes the central importance of protecting and promoting human rights as a prerequisite to a successful response to HIV. The right to dignity and self-determination for key affected populations, to equal access to health care and life-saving prevention and treatment programmes, and the right to interventions based on evidence rather than ideology, are all incorporated in this urgent demand for action.
Rights Here, Right Now emphasizes that concrete human rights measures need to be in place to protect those most vulnerable to and affected by HIV, especially women and girls, people who use drugs, migrants, prisoners, sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender persons.
Rights Here, Right Now also emphasizes the location of the conference in Vienna, chosen in part for its proximity to Eastern Europe and Central Asia, a region experiencing one of the fastest growing epidemics that is fuelled primarily by injecting drug use. It also underscores this critical moment in time for the global epidemic – with the 2010 deadline that world leaders set for providing universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support on the immediate horizon. Rights Here, Right Now is a call for leadership, accountability and action.
