Second Conference on Quality in HIV Prevention in the European Region

2012 The Second Conference on Quality in HIV Prevention in the European Region in Berlin on 23-24 April 2012 was hosted by the Improving Quality in HIV Prevention in Europe (IQhiv) initiative (jointly convened by WHO Europe, AIDS Action Europe and the German Federal Centre for Health Education) to report on and further develop recent activities in introducing quality improvement concepts to HIV prevention and promoting the use of practical quality improvement tools.

The conference aimed to raise the profile of quality improvement in HIV prevention among key stakeholders in Europe and further disseminate practical quality improvement tools. It furthered its aim by increasing the awareness of quality improvement as a catalyst for effectiveness in HIV prevention among decision and policy makers, programme and project managers as well as implementers across Europe; by increasing the reach of quality improvement tools adapted for use in HIV prevention and by encouraging feedback to improve the work of the IQhiv initiative.
