"We advocate for bridging the digital divide in the context of HIV prevention, recognising the transformative potential of technology in reaching vulnerable populations. We stress the need to ensure the health and rights of key populations living with HIV as a cornerstone for our prevention agenda by prioritising comprehensive care, empowerment, and advocacy for KP communities.
