The fourth annual Fast-Track Cities 2023 conference was held in Amsterdam on September 25-27, organized by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) in collaboration with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the Fast-Track Cities Institute and others partners.
LGBT Health Coordinator, Nikolay Lunchenkov, represented ECOM at this significant event. He gave a presentation on factors related to intimate partner violence among the LGBT community in Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This data was collected by ECOM as part of a large-scale online survey conducted in four countries in the region in 2022.
In addition, Nikolay presented the impressive results of the pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP) project in Central Asia. Such success relates to the rate of implementation of the newest type of prevention among populations at high risk of infection. We previously shared the success factors of PrEP in Kazakhstan.
“This is an international event that provides an opportunity to present the results of work at a high, one might say, political level. We were glad to have the opportunity to share our successes, and to get acquainted with the results of the work of colleagues from different parts of the world” said Nikolay Lunchenkov.
Fast-Track Cities is a partnership launched in 2014 that has brought together more than 500 cities and municipalities. Participants of this initiative have committed to accelerating local responses to HIV, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 by 2030.
