aidschicago.org/sexcity
The conference is a one day event that will explore how HIV/AIDS is impacting African American gay and bisexual men, as well as other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chicago. Fuled in part by persistent silence and stigma, the health disparities impacting these men have created unacceptably high rates of HIV that rival those in sub-Suharan Africa. What is already happening to address these disparities, and what’s missing?
The one day conference will include plenary sessions and workshops focusing on the co-factors of HIV such as, substance abuse, mental health and violence. This event brings together national and local activists, researchers, and service-providers to share local experiences and develop collaborative strategies for confronting the unique health challenges facing our diverse communities.
The conference offers the opportunity to network, build on our skill sets and develop action plans. The conference is for persons with experience in prevention education, treatment and adherence education such as health care providers, prevention and community health workers, nurses, health educators, program directors, social workers, case managers, and many others.
