2009 National HIV Prevention Conference
More than 25 years after the first report of a handful of cases of a nameless deadly disease among gay men in Los Angeles, there are more than 1 million persons living with HIV in the United States. The "new" syndrome identified over 25 years ago has become one of the deadliest epidemics in human history, killing more than 25 million people around the world, including more than 500,000 Americans. In the last decade, major advances in prevention and treatment for HIV/AIDS have prolonged and improved the lives of many, but despite this, the epidemic is far from over.
This unique conference, happening August 23–26, covers the entire spectrum of HIV prevention, from science to programs. It convenes HIV prevention experts and advocates from various backgrounds and communities nationwide. >>Learn More about the Conference*
