The Global HIV Prevention Working Group (PWG) is an international panel of more than 50 leading public health experts, clinicians, biomedical and behavioral researchers, advocates and people affected by HIV/AIDS, convened by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.

The Working Group was launched in 2002 to inform global policy-making, program planning, and donor decisions on HIV prevention.  The Working Group:
  • Issues periodic reports and fact sheets on key issues in HIV prevention science and policy

  • Works to build consensus on evidence-based HIV prevention programming

  • Advocates for a comprehensive international response to HIV/AIDS that integrates prevention, treatment, and care

  • Provides information and guidance to donors, media, and policy makers
