EATG at AIDS 2022

Back to the "Events" list
  • 29July - 02 August 2022
  • Montreal, Canada (and online)

EATG is present at the 24th International AIDS Conference taking place in Montreal, Canada and online from the 30th of July until the 2nd of August. The biennial conference organised by the International AIDS Society (IAS) is the key event for all stakeholders working in the field of HIV/AIDS around the world.

This year, the delegates will meet face-to-face again after four years since the last face-to-face version in Amsterdam. EATG is hosting a booth at the Global Village as well as activities in partnership with other organisations at the Silver Zone. EATG members will be presenting their local and regional work in various sessions, symposia, side-events as well as at the Global Village. Last but not least, networking is key; we plan to make the best of our time there meeting bilaterally with members, partners, allies and donors.

 

 

The theme of AIDS 2022 is re-engage and follow the science

The Silver Zone: a Networking Zone for Older Adults Living with HIV

Global Village – Networking Zone #84


The Silver Zone is a place for older people living with HIV to re-engage with the HIV community and follow the science on HIV and ageing; to feel included and celebrated.

The Silver Zone‘s objectives are: 1) holding space for socialization and mobilization by older people living with HIV, increasing their visibility and building social capital; 2) increasing awareness of the strengths, support needs and experiences of diverse older adults living with HIV and building capacity among stakeholders who can support ageing well; and 3) increasing health literacy and capacity for self- and community-care among older people living with HIV.

The Silver Zone is coordinated by Realize. EATG is one of the co-organising partners.
