In line with the Health Strategy to promote access to good quality care, equity and solidarity and to strengthen the EU voice in Global Health, the second Commission communication on combating HIV/AIDS sets out details on the European Union's goals to achieve a reduction of new HIV infections in the mid-term perspective and to improve the quality of life of people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS in the European Union and neighbouring countries.
