The PCB noted the recommendations proposed by the NGO representatives as follows:

• Regional recommendations:
• Latin America and the Caribbean: efforts should be focused on targeted prevention, attention and care for the most vulnerable populations, including access to antiretroviral drugs and on promotion of human rights and antidiscrimination legislation for persons living with HIV and AIDS;
• Asia and Pacific: denial of the situation and lack of political will is leading to lack of action in some countries; coherent prevention, attention and care efforts in the region must focus on the needs of the populations most affected;
• Africa: the issue of prevention of mother-to-child transmission should be a priority and concrete steps must be taken immediately to care for orphaned children;
• North America: more research on vaccine and microbicide development, and pragmatic and effective harm reduction programmes are urgently needed;
• Europe: the promotion of human rights of all populations particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS (including injection drug users, inmates, migrants, non-legal residents, men who have sex with men, and sex workers) is needed.
• Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA) recommendations:
• that UNAIDS adopt an affirmative employment policy to ensure the engagement of more people with HIV within the programme;
• that UNAIDS and the Cosponsors address the issue of equity in health care for all employees with HIV;
• that UNAIDS treat GIPA as a priority and that it be integrated across all aspects of its work. This would include:
• advocating for more initiatives on GIPA at all levels;
• encouraging those countries that have not signed the Paris Declaration to do so;
• developing a plan of action for increasing GIPA initiatives globally; and
• dialogue with the Cosponsors to implement GIPA.
