This meeting took place on 19 October 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa, immediately after the XXVIII International Workshop on HIV Drug Resistance and Treatment Strategies, thus capitalizing on the presence of HIVResNet members, key opinion leaders and other WHO advisers.

This overview was followed by three thematically divided technical sessions. The meeting concluded with a think tank session in which priorities for WHO to focus on over the next five years were discussed.
