2008 HIV/AIDS IMPLEMENTERS' MEETING
CDC was well represented at the 2008 HIV/AIDS Implementers' Meeting which took place in Kampala, Uganda from June 3-7, 2008, conducting multiple presentations and posters ranging on topics from evaluation of TB surveillance systems to increase HIV testing and access to HIV care and treatment in Zambia, to the benefits of routine HIV screening of sick children in Nigeria.
The meeting drew more than 1,700 HIV/AIDS implementers from Uganda and throughout the world. More than 70 countries were represented at the meeting, a testament to the global partnerships to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and a reflection of the conference theme, “Scaling Up Through Partnerships: Overcoming Obstacles to Implementation.”
