We are not building on lessons learned in the HIV response to combat the COVID-19 pandemic
ABSTRACT The AIDS 2022 conference created a platform for people to come together and talk about lessons learned from the HIV response and how it was translated to combat COVID-19 and prepare for future pandemics. Many people at the conference felt that the world failed to translate gains made in HIV response into the global COVID-19 response. Moreover, there were those of the view that the world seems to keep reinventing the wheel by establishing new institutions for pandemic preparedness rather than using the already existing tried and tested mechanisms.
