In the Netherlands, priority is currently being given to eliminating new HIV infections and finding a cure for HIV. In this context, two four year research projects will be conducted. Project 1 focuses on social engagement in HIV cure, the meaningful involvement of people with HIV in that process, and the impact a cure can have on HIV stigma. Project 2 focuses on a regional, tailored approach to HIV prevention in the EuRegio Limburg with German and Belgian border regions for high risk groups such as refugees and men-having-sex-with-men (MSM).
