DESCRIPTION:                                                               
                     \nThe Caribbean region has the second highest HIV prev
 alence globally\, following sub-Saharan Africa. Despite access to testing 
 and treatment\, the number of new HIV diagnoses in the Dutch Caribbean reg
 ion has not been decreasing\, in contrast to global trends. UNAIDS has set
  global targets\, 90-90-90\, which are essential for ending the HIV epidem
 ic: 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status\, 90% of 
 all people diagnosed with HIV will receive sustained antiretroviral therap
 y\, and 90% of all people receiving therapy will have reached viral suppre
 ssion. These targets require early identification\, retention in care on e
 ffective treatment\, and adequate virological suppression. In the past 4 y
 ears we have conducted the SPIRIT study to gain insight into the HIV epide
 mic in Aruba\, Bonaire\, and Curacao and their challenges to reach the 90-
 90-90 goals.\nDuring this conference\, we will provide you with an in-dept
 h overview of the HIV epidemic on the islands and give an update on the la
 test scientific breakthroughs. Extensive attention will be paid to:\n\nThe
  local HIV epidemic\nHIV diagnostics: Risk factors for late diagnosis of H
 IV\nSpecific risk groups such as undocumented migrants\nHIV stigma\nTools 
 for prevention such as PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis)\nLatest development
 s in therapy\, vaccine\, and cure research\n\nThis conference aims to be a
 n interactive meeting where your input is important. \nOnly together we ca
 n make an impact on the local HIV epidemic!\nDates and location Thursday 3
