Post 2015- How the HIV community can shape the future of the HIV and health development agenda

As the 2015 target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) approaches, the United Nations, governments, civil society and other global and national stakeholders are involved in a series of processes that will determine the new development goals. These processes are evolving quickly without strong participation of HIV and AIDS groups or stakeholders.

It is highly important that the HIV and broader global health communities are at the centre of the post-2015 decision making processes to ensure health and HIV goals remain as ambitious in the future framework as they are in the current framework.

This paper aims to support discussion and engagement with the post-2015 development agenda among the HIV community. It explores the barriers and opportunities for including HIV in the process and suggests how HIV and related global health needs should be addressed in the new development framework.
