National HIV Prevention Conference

August 12 - 15, 2001

from the Advocate

Health issues of concern to men who have sex with men, gaps in HIV testing, and the rise of HIV infections in communities of color will be among the topics addressed at the 2001 National HIV Prevention Conference, to be held August 12-15 in Atlanta. 

The HIV testing issue is of particular concern to conference organizers given new studies that show more than one third of HIV-positive people in the United States are unaware that they're infected with the virus. 

The conference has more than two dozen sponsors, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, AIDS Action, the National Minority AIDS Council, and the National Association of People With AIDS.
