Summary

The target of achieving universal health coverage is ambitious, but if met could be an important step towards ensuring that all people have good health and that HIV services are available for everyone who needs them. It is critical that efforts to achieve universal health coverage include a fully funded AIDS response and active community engagement and that they build on the gains in human rights and gender equality made by networks of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and key populations —gay men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people, people who inject drugs, prisoners and other incarcerated people, migrants, as well as women and adolescent girls.
