It has been known for some time that certain minorities are
disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Despite increased awareness of this disparity and efforts to implement
early HIV diagnosis as well as access to prevention and treatment services,
African American and Hispanic communities continue to carry a heavier burden of
the disease than other racial groups.
Join us for this interactive session in which our panel of
experts will discuss the state-of-the-art in HIV management as well as address
questions and concerns from the audience regarding prevention, testing, and
treatment. You will not only hear about
the latest data and what is on the horizon in the treatment paradigms, you will
also be able to share your views on what works and what could improve in
clinical practice. By the end of the
session you will understand current and emerging treatment options and how to
effectively advocate with your doctors and for your clients.
