This article presents the outcomes of the conference, which focus on ways to improve testing and linkage to care for HIV, viral hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted infections. HIV\u2010related stigma and discrimination, a major barrier to progress, was a key concept of the conference and on the agenda of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The HepHIV 2023 organizing committee, alongside the Spanish Ministry of Health, oversaw the conference organization and prepared the scientific programme based on abstract rankings. Key outcomes are derived from conference presentations and discussions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Conference presentations covered the obstacles that HIV\u2010related stigma and discrimination continue to pose to access to services, models for data collection to better monitor progress in the future, and examples of legislative action that can be taken at national levels. Diversification of testing approaches was also highlighted, to reach key populations, (e.g. migrant populations), to increase testing offered in healthcare settings (e.g. emergency departments), and to account for different stages of epidemics across the region.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>With a strong call for intensified action to address the impact of HIV\u2010related stigma and discrimination on testing uptake, the conference concluded that strengthened collaboration is required between governments and implementers around testing and linkage to care. There is also an ongoing need to ensure sustainable political commitment and appropriate resource allocation to address gaps and inequalities in access for key populations and to focus on the implementation of integrated responses to HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hiv.13683","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T10:30:22Z","timestamp":1719225022000},"page":"1169-1176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The <scp>HepHIV<\/scp> 2023 <scp>Madrid<\/scp> conference: A call to action for political leadership in reaching the sustainable development goals on earlier testing and linkage to care for <scp>HIV<\/scp>, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Ativistas em Tratamentos (GAT)  Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"EPIUnit \u2013 Instituto de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica, Universidade do Porto  Porto Portugal"},{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio para a Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Integrativa e Translacional em Sa\u00fade Populacional (ITR), Universidade do Porto  Porto Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorthe","family":"Raben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Health, Immunity and Infections (CHIP), Rigshospitalet University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alejandro Bert\u00f3","family":"Moran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ADAHARA  Seville Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8411-1952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arkaitz","family":"Imaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bellvitge University Hospital, Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), University of Barcelona, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat  Barcelona Spain"},{"name":"Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC)  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9576-7487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annemarie Rinder","family":"Stengaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Health, Immunity and Infections (CHIP), Rigshospitalet University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"ADAHARA  Seville Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Raahauge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Health, Immunity and Infections (CHIP), Rigshospitalet University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"ADAHARA  Seville Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann K.","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust  London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Vaughan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Galway  Galway Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johanna","family":"Br\u00e4nnstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases South Hospital &amp;
