The task before us all is to ensure a responsible transition and integration of the @UNAIDS Joint Programme within the wider @UN system — one that delivers on the objectives of UN80 while also ensuring a safe landing for the global #HIVresponse. This is not about holding on to the past. It is about avoiding unintended harm as we move into the next phase.
