Name:
The Asia Pacific HIV Clock (“The Clock” for short)
What he does: Counts down to a supercharged epidemic
What stops the clock:
-Effective treatment that suppresses the virus so it can’t be passed on
-Prevention including condoms, PrEP and harm reduction -Community-led action: people closest to the problem delivering effective services –
Rights & respect. When people aren’t criminalized or shamed they seek care
Prevent + Test + Treat + Protect rights + Fund communities until we end AIDS

Calling all communities
Join the #StopTheHIVClock campaign calling on policymakers to protect the promise of ending AIDS by 2030 by prioritizing action, investment & community leadership in three areas:
- Prevention: Expand equitable access to modern HIV combination prevention including PrEP and harm reduction to the required levels.
- Treatment and care: Increase access to innovative and differentiated HIV service delivery, leveraging the power of U=U.
- Human rights and gender: Advance legal & policy reforms, addressing structural barriers like stigma, discrimination & gender-based violence.

Asia-Pacific Call to Action
From its very beginning over 40 years ago, the HIV/AIDS epidemic hasn’t been restricted by value judgments about “high risk” and “innocence”. It never remains confined to a single community. When one group is impacted, others soon follow. And when one nation is vulnerable, so too are its neighbors and the region as a whole.
