This UNAIDS policy position paper, aimed at those with a leadership role in HIV prevention, treatment and care, highlights the need for strengthening HIV prevention, key actions for an effective response and core principles underlying these actions.

2. Alignment and harmonization
3. Reform for a more effective multilateral response
4. Accountability and oversight.
