On 10 June 2011, more than 3000 people came together at the United Nations in New York for the UN General Assembly High Level Meeting on AIDS to take stock of the progress and challenges of the last 30 years and shape the future AIDS response. The High-Level Meeting on AIDS took place on 8-10.6.2011 – ten years after the historic 2001 United Nations Special Session on HIV/AIDS, and the 2006 signing of the Political Declaration where UN Member States committed to moving towards universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
