You can now influence the United Kingdom's strategy on HIV in the developing world by taking part in their online worldwide consultation.

Taking Action – the official UK AIDS strategy - ends in March 2008, but tackling AIDS will continue to be a fundamental part of the work of DFID - the UK Department for International Development. Significant progress has been made in the global response to AIDS since Taking Action was launched in July 2004, and the UK needs to update its position and approach to reflect these changes.

DFID would like to hear your views about how the UK should take action to change the course of the AIDS epidemics. They have set out a series of questions on the main issues which DFID's updated strategy could address. These can be found in their consultation document: “Updating Taking Action”.

Please look at the consultation website to find out how you can aid the discussion and add your voice to the UK AIDS strategy! Every two weeks the subject will change.

Until July 6th, you can provide input on Working with the international system and on Working with civil society and PLWHA

From July 9 to 20 the subjects are Children Affected by AIDS and Tackling stigma and discrimination.
