The upcoming meeting will provide the possibility for new and old members to get acquainted with each other, with the procedures and potential of the CSF. In addition to general points on the agenda – such as information about recent activities, news from the European Commission and various agencies (ECDC, UNAIDS, WHO Euro and EMCDDA) – the meeting will address some focus issues:

-Overcoming stigma, with reports from Portugal and Ukraine;

-HIV and drug use, in cooperation with the Civil Society Forum on Drugs;

-Affordable quality treatment options, with special attention to generics and policy aspects.

The CSF is linked with the work of the HIV/AIDS Think Tank and provides advise on issues discussed by the Think Tank. Meetings of CSF are co-organised by the Commission and the two networks representing the civil society in the Think Tank. Members of the CSF come from all over Europe and are selected by the Commission following a call for expression of interest.
