Good Practices
We collect good practice examples from across the WHO Europe region on the health-related quality of life and long-term well-being of people living with HIV.
We serve as a resource to inspire and support stakeholders across Europe to address HIV beyond viral suppression and to implement change in policy and practice. The resources found here are meant to complement the WHO Europe compendium of “Good Practices in the Health Sector Response to HIV.”
