Excerpt
This publication provides an account of the points discussed at a global consultation on Ethics and Equitable Access to Treatment and Care for HIV/AIDS held in Geneva on 26-27 January 2004. The meeting was convened by UNAIDS and WHO's ETH, HDP and HIV departments. This report presents the views of the consultants, not necessarily those of the sponsoring organizations. It has, however, been indispensable in the process of preparing guidance material on this topic for WHO Member States, and we are very grateful to all the consultants, particularly to Professors Ruth Macklin and Norman Daniels who wrote background papers.
