What is #IASONEVOICE?
The International AIDS Society (IAS) is the world’s largest association of HIV professionals. Together we advocate and drive urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV.
WE ARE ONE VOICE UNITED.
The #IASONEVOICE is a grassroots campaign highlighting the stories, opinions, and perspectives of IAS Members. We are over
12,000 voices strong made up of members from over 170 countries. We are researchers and
clinicians, policy and programme planners, public health and community practitioners, dealing daily with the human devastation of AIDS.
The World Health Assembly has named 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife to honour these unsung heroes who often work in difficult conditions to deliver healthcare. In this series, five IAS Members share their experiences from the frontlines of the response to HIV and now also COVID-19.

At the IAS Secretariat
The environmentally responsible practices currently taking place at the IAS Secretariat include:
IAS staff use only glasses or mugs for beverages in order to discontinue the use of paper or plastic cups. In order to avoid plastic stirrers which are used only once, we use teaspoons (or stirrers made of recycled wood).
All batteries at the IAS are rechargeable and old batteries are always disposed of in a responsible manner.
A recycling station for PET plastic, glass, aluminium, cardboard & paper, Nespresso pods and other waste is used in the IAS kitchen.
The IAS orders “green” stationary when choosing stationary from our supplier Lyreco – a local supplier. The IAS office chooses sustainable material (not plastic) and reusable items which can be refilled.
