Mayor Turner and Harris County Judge Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo to sign the Paris Declaration to end AIDS epidemic by 2030

On Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019, at 2:30 p.m.,  Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo will sign on to the Fast-Track Cities Paris Declaration to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

The Fast-Track Cities Paris Declaration is a commitment by municipalities to achieve the 90-90-90 HIV treatment targets by 2020.

These targets will rapidly reduce new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths and put municipalities, now to include Houston and Harris County, on the “fast track” to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. The signing marks the conclusion of the Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit, an annual event that brings together clinicians and health professionals to highlight the role of biomedical prevention tools in ending the epidemic. This year’s event was hosted in Houston.
