Although most countries across Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) are focused on scaling up access to antiretroviral treatment for the prevention and treatment of HIV, the WHO has warned that the sharp rise in HIV and tuberculosis coinfections across the region represents a critical threat to both pandemic responses. Advancing the response necessitates clinical, epidemiological, social, and implementation research to inform epidemic responses tailored to local contexts. There are specific opportunities to improve the HIV response across EECA including 1) training local physicians and scientists in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of individuals with HIV 2) conducting implementation science to optimize program investments 3) ensuring evidence-informed public health policy and programming to reduce HIV and TB-related disparities across EECA. The first EECA INTERACT Workshop was held in Kazakhstan in 2019, inspired by the success of the INTEREST conferences, held annually in different African countries each year, that have benefitted from NIH support for several years. EECA INTERACT 2019 brought together clinicians, policy makers, early career and senior researchers, and members of civil society from the region, along with scientists from Western Europe and North America, to share pivotal findings and experiences in the field of HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C. INTERACT was innovative and informal, setting the stage for people to participate throughout the two days, focusing on unique issues facing the region and finding paths forward to solutions for improvement. The EECA INTERACT 2022 workshop will be a high-quality, regionally-focused scientific international meeting in Minsk, providing the region’s scientific communities with: 1) platforms to discuss and identify common solutions to implementation challenges across the region in HIV diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, as well as tuberculosis, hepatitis, and health more generally; 2) opportunities for early-career clinicians and researchers to share their experiences and findings from local settings; and 3) mechanisms for prominent international experts in HIV, related conditions, and social behavioral science to share knowledge and views. EECA Interact 2022 is being proposed with the following specific aims: 1. To provide cutting-edge knowledge in the fields of HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis diagnosis and treatment, pathogenesis, and prevention, in order to contribute to achieving the 95-95-95 HIV viral suppression goal, reducing tuberculosis incidence, and lessening the impact of hepatitis across EECA 2. To exchange ideas on providing and supporting HIV testing services and clinical care provision to adults, adolescents, and key populations living with HIV to achieve the 95-95-95 goals 3. To foster new research interactions among leading investigators and those who represent the potential future scientific leadership for health care and research in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. 4. To build research and clinical capacity across EECA.

尽管东欧和中亚 (EECA) 的大多数国家都致力于扩大获得 抗逆转录病毒治疗用于预防和治疗艾滋病毒，世界卫生组织警告称，艾滋病毒感染人数急剧上升 该地区的结核病合并感染对这两种流行病应对措施构成了严重威胁。 推进应对工作需要临床、流行病学、社会和实施研究来提供信息 因地制宜的流行病应对措施 有改善艾滋病毒应对措施的具体机会。 整个欧洲和中亚地区，包括 1) 对当地医生和科学家进行诊断、治疗和管理方面的培训 HIV 感染者的数量 2) 进行科学实施以优化项目投资 3) 确保 以证据为依据的公共卫生政策和规划，以减少整个欧洲和中亚地区与艾滋病毒和结核病相关的差异。 受 INTEREST 成功的启发，首届 EECA INTERACT 研讨会于 2019 年在哈萨克斯坦举行 每年在不同的非洲国家举行的会议，这些会议都受益于美国国立卫生研究院的支持 2019 年 EECA INTERACT 汇聚了民间传说、政策制定者、早期职业人士和资深人士。 来自该地区的研究人员和民间社会成员，以及来自西欧和北欧的科学家 美国，分享艾滋病毒、结核病和丙型肝炎领域的关键发现和经验。 互动 创新且非正式，为人们在这两天的参与奠定了基础，重点关注 该地区面临的独特问题以及寻找改进解决方案的途径。 EECA INTERACT 2022 研讨会将是一次高质量、以区域为重点的科学国际会议 在明斯克，为该地区的科学界提供：1）讨论和确定共同点的平台 解决该地区艾滋病毒诊断、治疗和预防方面的实施挑战 如结核病、肝炎和更广泛的健康问题；2) 早期职业抗议者的机会和 研究人员分享他们在当地环境中的经验和发现；以及 3) 突出的机制； 艾滋病毒、相关疾病和社会行为科学领域的国际专家分享知识和观点。 EECA Interact 2022 的具体目标如下： 1. 提供艾滋病毒、结核病、肝炎诊断和治疗领域的前沿知识 治疗、发病机制和预防，以促进实现 95-95-95 HIV 病毒 抑制目标，降低结核病发病率，并减轻肝炎对整个欧洲和中亚地区的影响 2. 就向成人提供和支持艾滋病毒检测服务和临床护理服务交换意见， 青少年和重点艾滋病毒感染人群实现95-95-95目标 3. 促进主要研究人员和代表潜力的研究人员之间新的研究互动 东欧和中亚地区医疗保健和研究的未来科学领导力。 4. 建设整个欧洲和中亚地区的研究和临床能力。
