International drug policy must shift from prohibition to public health in order to reduce harms to individuals and societies, including fueling the spread of HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis, experts from a range of disciplines agreed at two sessions held during the 7th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2013) this week in Kuala Lumpur.
On Sunday, the Global Commission on Drug Policy and the International AIDS Society co-sponsored a High Level Panel on Drug Policy and Public Health, focusing on the situation in Malaysia. Monday's programme included a special session titled 'Evidence-Based Drug Policies for an Effective HIV Response'.
