CAP Event Highlight: What's New in HIV? Conference

What's New in HIV?
6th Annual Conference
September 11, 2010
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

With 300 participants anticipated to attend, this one-day conference provides an opportunity to learn the latest information about HIV and supports networking among consumers and those working in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention and care services.

Every day – those living with the virus and those working in the HIV/AIDS field are faced with important questions. How do we talk about prevention for those already infected? How does nutrition impact HIV? What does being co-infected with HIV and HEP C mean? What are treatment options? What is it like to live and grow older with HIV? How do I disclose my status to a loved one? These questions and many more will be answered at this conference.

Created to meet the needs of consumers who wanted up-to-date information regarding medical developments in HIV/AIDS, the conference now includes programming for service providers as well as consumers. Over the last five years the conference has expanded, attracting people from across the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Goals of the Conference are:

• To ensure consumers have access to the most-up-to-date information related to HIV/AIDS care and support, empowering them to take an active role in their own care.
• To ensure those caring for people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) (including family, friends, medical providers, social workers and community organizers), have the critical information they need to ensure the best care and support.
• To further develop community networks among consumers, social service agencies, providers and other community resources.

This year’s conference includes some exciting panels, including medical updates for both providers and consumers, a panel on Women, HIV, and Self-Worth, a discussion of naturopathic medicine in relation to the treatment of HIV, a panel on nutrition therapy, and one on stigma.

Sponsors and Presenters:
BMS, Central Pharmacy, Merck, Multnomah County HIV Clinic, Genentech, Gilead, OHSU, HIV Day Center, OHSY, Our House of Portland, Partnership Project, Quest Center for Integrative Health, Cascade AIDS Project
