UNITED SUPPORT FOR HIV CARE IN CONFLICTED EUROPE
UNITED SUPPORT FOR HIV CARE IN CONFLICTED EUROPE
Europe is home to almost 3 million people living with HIV. The care for HIV/AIDS in one of Europe’s countries most affected by HIV, Ukraine, is threatened with the start of an unprecedented armed conflict in Europe.
We are a group of HIV specialists physicians from across Europe in all its diversity but we are united through the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) as Young Investigators (YING). The war endangers the care for people living with HIV in Ukraine and the HIV care providers on the ground there including one of our own YING colleagues.
We felt we could not stand by with words alone. We therefore started the ‘#aware.hiv Ukraine dare to care’ initiative. (aware.hiv, Niederlande, März 2022)
