  • A comprehensive strategy for tackling the exacerbation of impoverishment by HIV/AIDS would include prevention of transmission, respect for human rights and progress on poverty reduction. This meeting identified best and worst practices in order to single out the impact of institutionalised human rights violations associated with HIV/AIDS and, conversely, beneficial effects of rights-based approaches to dealing with the HIV/AIDS crisis.
