On Friday, June 3, Mayor John Cooper and the Metro Public Health Department will hold a special signing ceremony of the Paris Declaration 4.0 that will designate Nashville as a ‘Fast-Track City’ and join dozens of cities across the world in an international movement to combat the HIV/AIDS virus.
The Paris Declaration 4.0 is part of a joint movement by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), and the City of Paris.
By joining the Fast-Track Cities Initiative, Nashville will recommit to achieving the goals of The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS: 95% of people living with HIV knowing their HIV status, 95% of those people being linked to treatment, and 95% attainment of undetectable viral load by 2030.
The ceremony will include additional remarks from service, public health and clinical stakeholders before final remarks from Mayor Cooper.
