We call on all governments to remove all barriers to, and ensure full implementation of these laws, including:

• the protection of PLHIV against all forms of discrimination
• free movement without restriction for work, education and recreational travel to all countries
• decriminalizing of sex work
• decriminalizing of sex between men

We further call on our governments to:

• Ensure affordable access to antiretroviral and associated testing, including second line regimens, all medications to treat opportunistic infections and co-infections, and comprehensive integrated care and support, in accordance with UNGASS (United Nations General Assembly Special Session) and Universal Access principles.
• While recognising the diversity of the region, eliminate inequities that exist between and within countries in the quality of life of PLHIV, and embracing among other needs income generation, access to services and the basic needs of nutrition and housing.
• Recognise and respect the particular needs and experiences of youth and women living with HIV, and other marginalized people such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, and drug users.
• Adopt VCCT (Voluntary Confidential Counseling and Testing) as the best approach to testing without the need to implement PICT (Provider Initiated Counseling and Testing). Testing should only occur when appropriate care and support services are available,
• Ensure the meaningful implementation of GIPA (Greater Involvement of people living with HIV and AIDS) principles at all levels of the response to HIV, and fund and support the establishment and development of sustainable positive networks as the key vehicles for coordinating a positive response.

The Human Rights framework within which these actions are conducted should be delivered in a culturally appropriate way as determined by empowered communities.
