By Wilton Park

Participants from many parts of the world, with different expertise and engagements with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) gathered at the Wilton Park facility of the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) on 26-28 February 2018 to consider ways of slowing the epidemics amongst people who inject drugs (PWIDs).

This meeting provided a timely opportunity to explore the impact of key global frameworks on reaching PWID with HIV and HCV prevention, treatment and care measures one year prior to the 2019 United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs (UNGASS) to be held in New York. This report provides an overview of presentations and discussions, highlighting the most salient themes that emerged from the meeting.
