Aware.HIV Ukraine
In March 2022, the HIV Aware Ukraine project was launched, led by Dr Marta Vasylyev (Ukraine) and Dr Casper Rokx (Netherlands) and in collaboration with the EACS Young Investigators (YING).
This initiative was introduced in response to the war in Ukraine, to help doctors in Ukraine and people living with HIV that are affected by the crisis.
Since the start of the initiative, they have achieved to provide antiretroviral therapy to ensure that people living with HIV receive uninterrupted treatment as well as offer support for local HIV Care providers.
The project is still ongoing and welcomes any assistance.

YING Innovation Platform (YIP) aims to establish a durable and accessible platform to promote excellence in HIV science and care within a network of young investigators in Europe and to facilitate interaction, collaboration and scientific synergism across Europe to benefit people living with HIV.
