Advocating for integrated HIV, noncommunicable disease, and mental health responses: A toolkit for the 2026 UN High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS

This toolkit is designed to support HIV, noncommunicable diseases, mental health, and health advocates to work together in preparation for the 2026 United Nations High-Level Meeting (HLM) on HIV/AIDS, taking place in June 2026. Its purpose is to help advocates advance integrated HIV and NCD responses and secure strong political commitments to people‑centred, rights‑based care.

You can use this toolkit to:

1. Understand the UN HLM on HIV/AIDS process and key political moments
2. Explain why HIV-NCD-MH integration is essential for long-term HIV outcomes and quality of life for people living with HIV
3. Align national advocacy with global negotiations
4. Engage Ministries of Health and Finance, parliamentarians, UN Missions, and regional blocs
5. Strengthen accountability by monitoring how governments act on their commitments before and after the UN HLM on HIV/AIDS.
