New York, NY 10017

June 16, 2009

Dear Secretary-General,

As we embark on our first meeting The World AIDS Campaign Global Steering Committee
applauds your past calls for increased health and human rights protections for people
living with HIV, women and girls, young people, adolescents, transgender people, sex
workers, men who have sex with men, and people who use drugs.

In the current political climate, we urge you to use your influence to further advocate on
these issues within the United Nations and with heads of state around the world. We
would welcome your support in addressing key populations in the efforts to achieve
universal access to prevention, treatment, care and support.

Going forward we ask you to commit to holding an open, inclusive, high level review of
what we have or have not accomplished in achieving universal access by the 2010 target.
We ask that this meeting be held after the end of 2010 when all government reports and
data are available and give particular attention to efforts to combat stigma and
discrimination as they impact key populations, including a review of the provision of
proven harm reduction measures and efforts to combat criminalization and legal barriers
that prevent targeted interventions with key populations.

The global financial recession is already weakening access to HIV, tuberculosis and
malaria services, as well as other priority health services. Governments are shrinking their
health budgets. Communities are falling into poverty. Donors are threatening to renege on
their commitments. The fragile health gains we have made over the last decade will
evaporate without a concerted effort to challenge member states to prioritize health
spending in the midst of the financial crisis.

We ask you, Secretary General, to use the General Assembly in September to create an
opportunity for additional emergency donations to the Global Fund--as the incoming Chair
of the replenishment; this could be a first step to show that you expect donor countries
not to hide behind the financial crisis when it comes to health investments.

We are grateful for your consideration and continued partnership.

Yours sincerely,

On behalf of The World AIDS Campaign Global Steering Committee
