4. The Format EriKa to provide an overview of the U=U pre-conference
Four presentation on the application of U=U from around the world
30 mins for Q&A with the audience (Bruce Richman to join) with a TWIST
Please keep your questions to the Q&A at the end – I encourage you to write down your questions as we go through the presentations
There is a video being made of the presentations but not the Q&A at the end.
We will be hosting a Video Feedback Log at the end of the session at the back of the room for you to record your impressions and reactions to the workshop, reflect upon the content of the workshop or pose any outstanding questions you may have. The content you record will be wound up into a video being made about U=U at AIDS 2018

5. Four Key Global Questions
How do we ensure that U=U message gets applied both to the global south and global north?
How do we ensure that U=U message gets applied to the unique circumstances of different key populations?
How do we promote the key differences between
U=U and the term TasP?
How do we ensure that public health bodies and community members remain committed to the messaging of ‘ZERO risk’ and not confound and confuse U=U messaging?
As this is a workshop and not a sit back and hear the experts panel – we acknowledge the expertise in the room and encourage you to share your reflections, expertise and insights
The presenters have been challenged to consider 4 key global questions about U=U and its application across different communities around the world and into the future
We are keen to hear from yourself about how you are addressing these questions in your communities
These questions will frame the Q&A and we encourage you to speak up about how you are responding to these questions in your work and in your communities
