Integrating HIV in the Cluster Response

The magnitude and frequency of humanitarian emergencies are increasing, including complex crises, food insecurity, climate change events, and protracted conflicts. In the wake of the increasing occurrence and impact of such events, improving the health and lives of people in humanitarian context needs to be central to the efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goal target of ending acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) as a public health threat by 2030. Every year hundreds of millions of people around the world are affected by humanitarian emergencies including a significant proportion of people living with HIV (PLHIV).
