This session will debate the risk, vulnerability and public neglect of indigenous people, first nations and afro descendants confronting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Recognized leaders from these populations will share their perspectives confronting the epidemic, from the experiences lived by their communities to a more academic approach. It will cover issues such as the factors that are responsible for their overrepresentation, the human rights violations that lead to their particular vulnerability, the consequences of the epidemic among the underserved communities, and their recommendations on the development of adequate public policies.
