20th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2014), Melbourne, Australia, 20-25 July

说明(申请人提供)：全球抗击艾滋病毒的斗争要取得进展，需要对流行病和最危险人群的多样性有持续的科学了解，对成功干预措施的规模实施，以及在艾滋病毒疫苗和治愈方面取得进展。在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的第20届国际艾滋病大会(AIDS 2014)旨在通过批判性地反思过去两年取得的进展，以及如何最好地满足迄今仍未得到充分服务的关键受影响人群(KAP)的需求，同时实现结束艾滋病流行的理想目标，来解决这些问题。怎样才能做到这一点呢？我们如何加强与非艾滋病毒科学和研究的合作？我们如何整合和增加与共同感染和共同疾病的协同作用？为了开始回答这些问题，2014年艾滋病大会协调委员会(协调委员会)为艾滋病制定了以下五个目标。 1.与受影响社区、政府、科学家、临床医生和所有利益攸关方合作，参与、激励、创新和倡导消灭艾滋病。 2.确认艾滋病毒防治工作在过去30年中在改变全球卫生系统方面发挥的作用，在这一势头的基础上，增加对创新艾滋病毒科学研究和方案的资助；加强青年科学家、社区领袖、政治家和倡导者的参与；促进与其他科学学科的经验和专门知识的交流。 3.解决和确定如何打破过去30年来助长这一流行病的障碍--污名、歧视和压制性政府政策。 4.重点关注全球艾滋病毒流行热点，以及如何在受影响程度不成比例的社区和边缘群体，如男男性接触者、性工作者、妇女解放运动、变性人、残障儿童和儿童中加强努力。 5.促进关于2015年后艾滋病毒和艾滋病千年发展目标设想的辩论。 实现这些目标需要整合：一个旨在解决跨学科和疾病的前沿问题的会议计划，同时促进不同利益相关者的参与。我们将特别关注包容性：让KAP有意义地参与科学计划的设计和实施；通过提供儿童保育和积极的休息室来扩大可访问性；通过我们的地球村和青年计划等多样化的会议组成部分；以及通过优先支持资源有限的人的奖学金计划。创新将是科学计划的主要优先事项，也是通过先进的IT和通信链接远程访问传播知识，以及通过积极参与应对艾滋病的当地组织在2014年与艾滋病联合举办的会议中心的主要优先事项。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Progress in the global fight against HIV requires continued scientific knowledge of the diversity of epidemics and populations most at risk, implementation to scale of successful interventions, and advances towards a vaccine and a cure for HIV. The 20th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2014) in Melbourne, Australia aims to tackle these issues by critically reflecting on the progress made over the past two years and on how to best address the needs of those Key Affected Populations (KAPs) who thus far have remained underserved while simultaneously delivering on the aspirational goal to end the AIDS epidemic. What will it take to get there? How do we increase cooperation with non-HIV science and research? How do we integrate and increase synergy with co-infections and co-morbidities? To begin to answer such questions, the AIDS 2014 Conference Coordinating Committee (CCC) has developed the following five objectives for AIDS 2014. 1. To engage, inspire, innovate and advocate-in partnership with affected communities, government, scientists, clinicians and all stakeholders-for the end of AIDS. 2. To acknowledge the role the HIV response has played in transforming global health systems over the past three decades, building on this momentum to increase funding for innovative HIV scientific research and programs; to enhance involvement of young scientists, community leaders, politicians and advocates; and to spur cross-fertilization of experience and expertise with other scientific disciplines. 3. To address and identify ways to break down the barriers that have fuelled the epidemic over the past 30 years-stigma, discrimination, and repressive government policy. 4. To focus attention on global HIV epidemic hotspots and how to scale up efforts within disproportionately affected communities and marginalized groups such as MSM, sex workers, PLWHA, transgender, PWUD, and children. 5. To foster debate around a post-2015 MDG scenario for HIV and AIDS. Meeting these aims requires integration: a conference program designed to address cutting-edge issues across disciplines and diseases while fostering participation by diverse stakeholders. We will give special attention to inclusion: meaningful engagement of KAPs in the design and delivery of the Scientific Program; broad accessibility by providing childcare and a Positive Lounge; diverse conference components such as our Global Village and Youth programs; and through a scholarship program that prioritizes support for people from resource-limited settings. Innovation will be a major priority both in the scientific program and in disseminating knowledge through remote access via advanced IT and communication links; and through conference hubs held in conjunction with AIDS 2014 by local organizations active in the AIDS response.
