81 Conclusions Women globally are vulnerable to HIV infection due to a combination of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Highly effective treatment and prevention is now available at lower cost than ever and ART adherence in SSA is excellent. Ongoing resources are needed with bilateral support and a political commitment to improving the health of women and girls everywhere. This improves community health. HIV/AIDS Elimination is attainable but will require significant resources and new innovations to reach populations in need.
