One of the greatest hurdles we face in ending HIV as a public health threat is connecting to and engaging people – particularly young, healthy people that are also often most at risk of acquiring HIV.
Join PSI as we explore our #peoplecentered solutions – from scaling technologies to shaping markets and leveraging behavioral approaches – to increase access to life-saving products and services and reach the last mile.

ENSURING THAT NO MAN IS LEFT BEHIND: STRATEGIES FOR REACHING AND RETAINING MEN IN HEALTHCARE
TUESDAY, 20 JUNE | 9AM – 1PM @ ONOMO HOTEL, DURBAN
While the HIV response in South Africa has made great strides overall, we are still lagging in reaching men with HIV testing, prevention and treatment. At the same time, there has been progress in recent years in developing and testing new approaches for engaging men more effectively. The MINA campaign and the Mpilo Project will host a satellite session focused on insights and strategies for reaching men and how we might scale and sustain innovative approaches to demand creation and service delivery.
