Advancing the Right to Health in the AIDS Response: An Evolving Movement and an Uncertain Future
Health and Human Rights Journal - "The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is focusing its 2017 World AIDS Day campaign on the right to health. This groundbreaking campaign, My Health, My Right, provides an opportunity to reflect on the advancements of the right to health in the AIDS response and the challenges for human rights in the years to come.
Celebrated on December 1st each year, World AIDS Day has provided an opportunity since 1988 for policymakers, practitioners, scholars, and advocates to come together to raise awareness in support of people living with and affected by HIV. The right to health has long been crucial to this movement. Given its dramatic development under international law, this right has provided an evolving basis to implement human rights in HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support."
