Mental Health and HIV/AIDS – promoting human rights, an integrated and person-centred approach to improving ART adherence, well-being and quality of life

At its 41st meeting, the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) agreed that the topic of the thematic segment of the 43rd meeting would be “Mental Health and HIV/AIDS–– promoting human rights, an integrated and person-centred approach to improving antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, well-being and quality of life.” This session responds to the growing acknowledgment of the importance of addressing the intersection between mental health and HIV and of the need to adopt a human rights-based approach and to help improve the wellbeing and quality of life of people living with HIV and people with mental health conditions.

The focus is timely and relevant in the context of the health-related Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.3 to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), malaria and neglected tropical diseases by 2030 and the realization of the 2016 Political Declaration on Ending AIDS
