Learn more about Go Further's work to end AIDS and cervical cancer in sub-Saharan Africa during #AIDS2022
Launched in May 2018, Go Further is an innovative public-private partnership between the U.S. President Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the George W. Bush Institute, UNAIDS, Merck, and Roche.
Go Further is committed to creating a healthier future for women by integrating and scaling-up cervical cancer screening and treatment services within existing platforms for HIV prevention and treatment and women’s health.
The partners of Go Further are delighted to be participating in the 24th International AIDS Conference. Here’s how you can learn more about our partnership, the contributions of the partners, and the work being done in 12 African countries to reduce incidence and deaths from cervical cancer, especially among women living with HIV.
