The LIVING Partnership organised a LIVING 2008 Summit Update Satellite during AIDS2010 in Vienna on Tuesday, 20 July. Due to a scheduling conflict with the Human Rights March, the satellite was however cancelled. LIVING 2008 was the first gathering of positive leaders from around the world since 2003 that provided a re-affirmation of PLHIV leadership and successfully focused the attention on main issues of concern for PLHIV and created renewed momentum for the PLHIV movement.

LIVING2008: The Positive Leadership Summit was the twelfth International Conference of People living with HIV, but was a first in many other things. It was the first International Conference of people living with HIV organised by a consortium of 11 agencies, known as the LIVING2008 Partnership, with GNP+ acting as the ‘secretariat’ for the Partnership. In addition, the LIVING2008 was the first International Conference of People living with HIV organised immediately prior to an International AIDS Conference (IAC).
To record the experiences and assess the outcomes and impact of the conference an independent evaluation was commissioned. The aim of the evaluation was:
- To assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Summit and the processes leading up to it;
- To assess the immediate and medium term impacts for participants;
- To assess the extent that participants felt that the Summit developed and articulated leadership positions as well as developing leadership; and
- To provide baseline data and observations to inform possible future collaborative work among the LIVING2008 Partnership members.
The evaluation concentrated primarily on capturing the perspective of the people who participated in the Summit. Data was collected through an online survey.

Report of LIVING2008: The Positive Leadership Summit |

LIVING 2008 – organized by the LIVING 2008 partnership - was a momentous event, the first gathering of positive leaders from around the world in five years. It was an opportunity to take stock of where the PLHIV movement stands, what its challenges are and how to react to them, and where to go from there. The preparations for LIVING 2008 included a gathering of 40 HIV positive leaders entitled “HIV+ Monaco” held in Monaco from 24-26 January 2008.
One of the main achievements of the Monaco meeting was the identification of four key advocacy themes around which the deliberations of LIVING 2008 would be centered. These four themes are: Universal access to HIV treatment, care and prevention, SRHR of PLHIV, Criminalization of the transmission of HIV, Prevention, with a focus on Positive Prevention. In addition, the LIVING 2008 partnership organized an e-consultation between June and July 2008 that engaged a diverse group of PLHIV from different parts of the world to discuss issues pertinent to the four themes of the Leadership Summit.
LIVING 2008 participants issued a clear call to action to all PLHIV around the world to become more involved, be it in becoming experts regarding their own health, actively requesting the enjoyment of their SRHR, or in making themselves knowledgeable regarding criminalization. This, however, will require further empowerment and capacity building for the PLHIV community.
In summary, LIVING 2008: The Positive Leadership Summit was a re-affirmation of PLHIV leadership. It successfully focused the attention on main issues of concern for PLHIV and created renewed momentum for the PLHIV movement. The challenge now will be to move forward and act on the recommendations issued by PLHIV from around the world.
