Abstract

The Vienna Declaration was launched as the official declaration of AIDS 2010. It was drafted by a team of international experts and initiated by the International AIDS Society, the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP) and the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS. In this article, Michaela Montaner describes how the declaration seeks to improve community health and safety by calling for the incorporation of scientific evidence into illicit drug policies.
