UNAIDS has established an Advisory Group to support the Multi-stakeholder Task Force that will be facilitating civil society involvement in the upcoming UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. The group consists of individuals working, among others, in the areas of paediatrics and HIV, UHC, human rights, gender equality, academia, youth leadership, and more.
