Within a wide ranging discussion, Naser and Dr Loures talked about social inclusion around HIV and looked forward to the future with both organisations reengaging with a focus on gender justice and HIV prevention across Islamic Relief\u2019s different areas of work.<\/p>\n
A commitment was also made to ensure the Islamic Relief global family incorporates inclusive programming where HIV is not forgotten.<\/p>\n
Naser said: \u201cThe fight against HIV has seen many advances in recent years. The coverage of anti-retroviral drugs has increased, leading to a large number of people with HIV living dignified and full lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite these amazing achievements there are still more challenges to overcome and as an international humanitarian organisation we are pushing for inclusive programming with a recognition of HIV prevention to ensure that no one is left behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to working with UNAIDS, and using my voice and position to ensure that HIV is not lost in conversations for humanitarian action\u201d<\/p>\n
