Join us for our seventh annual Caraconference, a virtual educational event focused on the intersection of public health and HIV. 🗓️ Monday, Sept 16 – Friday, Sept 20 Sessions are held every day from 12:00–1:00 PM (Eastern Time) Medical progress to end the HIV epidemic is being thwarted by health disparities, limited access to vital resources, and punitive legislation. Advocacy plays a crucial role in driving policy changes to overcome these barriers. As a community, public health workers and individuals impacted by HIV must be strategic and tenacious in challenging discriminatory practices, influencing legislative decisions and promoting equitable access to resources and care. At Caraconference 2024, experts, practitioners and community members from diverse backgrounds will explore strategies for reducing disparities, amplifying voices and driving systemic change in HIV prevention and treatment. Topics include: • The HIV Stigma Index • The promise of PrEP versus the reality of access • Activating peer support groups for advocacy • Intergenerational experiences with HIV prevention and care • The fight to modernize HIV criminalization laws—lessons learned CEUs will be available for select conference sessions.
