GNP+ and UNAIDS convened an international technical consultation (27-28 April 2009, Tunisia) to lay the ground for a common understanding on ‘positive prevention’ that guides the work of and partnerships between multilateral, bilateral, governmental and civil society organisations.

Specific objectives included:

• To gather experiences and knowledge of stakeholders, in particular PLHIV at regional, national and local levels, at the technical consultation; and to develop a strategy to gather broader views and experiences following the technical consultation;
• To develop a set of initial principles on positive prevention;
• To develop recommendations to facilitate the scale up of programmes and the development of policies.

There were 50 participants representing PLHIV networks, civil society, government agencies, UN agencies and international development agencies. More than half of the participants were PLHIV who are leading programmes and driving policies aimed at achieving better HIV responses and higher health and quality of life standards for PLHIV.
