Capacity-building seminar on the role of LGBTI organisations to address HIV and STIs

The capacity seminar brought together 21 participants, all representing LGBTI organisations from a variety of European countries: from Iceland to Armenia and from Cyprus to Denmark.

The seminar aimed at:

• Providing participants with scientific knowledge regarding: the transmission routes of HIV-STIs, factors that may put key populations, and in particular LGBTI people, more at risk of HIV-STIs infections, the current state of play when it comes to prevention and treatment.
• Identifying, together with participants, barriers that remain to LGBTI activism (advocacy, awareness-raising, campaigning, etc.) to address the raise of HIV-STIs among LGBTI communities. 
• Enabling participants to overcome those barriers and ensure that LGBTI activists are empowered to fully participate in this fight.
