On Sunday, November 16 from 4-5:30 p.m., there will be a networking opportunity for our Section members with those from the International Health Section. This forum will provide members of both groups with an opportunity to discuss such issues as: ARV treatment included in the universal package of care; challenges faced by professionals in fieldwork (e.g., adherence to ARV treatment in developed countries and the implications and issues involved in providing access to treatment in developing countries); practices that are most effective in the field; and areas in which more effort and improvement are needed, both nationally and internationally (e.g., addressing stigma in HIV/AIDS care). There is a lot we can learn and do together in abating the HIV/AIDS epidemic both here and abroad. Therefore, it is hoped that this forum will serve as an avenue of exploring the possibility of both Sections developing and working on a joint project together. All members of both sections are invited and encouraged to attend!
