The United Nations General Assembly 26th Special Session (UNGASS) on HIV Declaration of Commitment (DoC) on HIV/AIDS was adopted in 2001 by all UN member states.

The DoC sets out a framework to reverse the HIV epidemic and sets a target of 2010 to fulfil commitments.

From 8-10 June 2011, a UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV will be held in New York to review progress and to renew commitments to halt and reverse the HIV epidemic.
