GNP+ takes part as a co-organiser and co-sponsor of different key events and conferences in the international HIV response, such as the International AIDS Conference and the HIV/AIDS Implementers' Meeting, for example. In addition, GNP+ historically is the lead organiser of the International Conference for people living with HIV, which last took place in Mexico City in 2008.
LIVING2008: The Positive Leadership Summit was the 12th
international conference for people living with HIV since 1987. These international gatherings of people living with HIV have been of
tremendous importance to many positive people from around the world.
Meeting in a safe and empowering environment has contributed both to
their personal growth and to a strengthening of the PLHIV movement. LIVING2008 was organised just prior to AIDS2008, and aimed to strengthen the movement of people living with HIV through promoting the
involvement and leadership of people living with HIV in the global HIV
response, as well as benefiting participants and programming at both
the Positive Leadership Summit and AIDS 2008.
While the International AIDS Conference is a bi-annual event that focusses both on scientific developments as well as civil society involvement in the response, the HIV/AIDS Implementers’ Meeting is an annual conference that focuses on implementation of best practices and lessons learnt for HIV implementers worldwide. At both conferences, GNP+ specifically aims to strengthen the participation of civil society and the involvement of organizations of people living with HIV.

Do you want the world to know what you are doing in your community, organization, country on HIV? Come to present your experiences at AIDS2010 in Vienna!
The Global Network of People living with HIV (GNP+) calls on people
living with HIV to share their knowledge and experience and submit

Are you a person living with HIV working on programmes focused on leadership and accountability or involving and empowering communities? Are you ready to share your best practices or can you help people with professional scientific development? Are you providing treatment, care or counseling for other people living with HIV? Do you work in prevention, help with testing, defend human rights, or in any other way to help improve the quality of life of people living with HIV?
