Its three overarching goals are to:
(1) decreaseincidence of infection with HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB; (2) decreasemorbidity and mortality from HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB; and (3)decrease health disparities across groups affected by HIV, viral hepatitis,STDs, and TB.
Timely dissemination of the newest information derived fromrecent scientific studies on these diseases and CDC recommendations isimperative, but often it is challenging to reach this goal.
Conferences play animportant role in addressing this gap.
Nongovernmental and governmentalorganizations often wish to hold conferences to provide up-to-date informationregarding the aforementioned diseases, but are prohibited by budgetary constraints.Limited resources for disseminating the latest health information and fosteringcommunity collaboration and partnerships impedes efforts to effectively reachand impact at-risk populations and persons serving them, thereby reducing theeffectiveness of prevention and treatment efforts.
