Multi-Stakeholder Hearing for the 2026 High-Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS
The Interactive Multi-Stakeholder hearing for the High-Level Meeting (HLM) on HIV and AIDS took place on 14 May 2026 with representatives from NCD Alliance on the ground.
Advocate Daniel Koch delivered a statement on behalf of the NCD Alliance.
"HIV, noncommunicable diseases, and mental health conditions are interlinked, and we cannot end AIDS or realise the right to health for all without addressing these issues together," said Daniel.
“The HIV and NCD communities have been collaborating for over a decade on shared priorities, primarily around integrated care. Now, in an era of shrinking funding and a shifting global health architecture, our solidarity is more important than ever.”
Act Now: Our Priority Asks and Resources
HIV, NCDs and mental health conditions are deeply interconnected. People living with HIV often face higher risks of NCDs and mental health challenges, which can affect treatment, retention in care and quality of life.
For the 2026 Political Declaration, Member States should commit to integrated, people-centred responses that protect rights, strengthen primary health care and ensure sustainable financing.
