DESCRIPTION:                                                               
      \nSuccesses and challenges\nThe Caribbean region has the second highe
 st HIV prevalence globally\, following sub-Saharan Africa. Despite access 
 to testing and treatment\, the number of new HIV diagnoses in the Dutch Ca
 ribbean region has not been decreasing\, in contrast to global trends. UNA
 IDS has set global targets\, 90-90-90\, which are essential for ending the
  HIV epidemic: 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV statu
 s\, 90% of all people diagnosed with HIV will receive sustained antiretrov
 iral therapy\, and 90% of all people receiving therapy will have reached v
 iral suppression. These targets require early identification\, retention i
 n care on effective treatment\, and adequate virological suppression. In t
 he past 4 years we have conducted the SPIRIT study to gain insight into th
 e HIV epidemic in Aruba\, Bonaire\, and Curacao and their challenges to re
 ach the 90-90-90 goals.\nDuring this conference\, we will provide you with
  an in-depth overview of the HIV epidemic on the islands and give an updat
 e on the latest scientific breakthroughs. Extensive attention will be paid
  to:\n\nThe local HIV epidemic\nHIV diagnostics: Risk factors for late dia
 gnosis of HIV\nSpecific risk groups such as undocumented migrants\nHIV sti
 gma\nTools for prevention such as PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis)\nLatest 
 developments in therapy\, vaccine\, and cure research\n\nThis conference a
 ims to be an interactive meeting where your input is important. The confer
 ence can also be attended online.\nOnly together we can make an impact on 
 the local HIV epidemic!\nDates and location Thursday 30th of March: Alhamb
