3350.0 New Frontiers: HIV/AIDS in Rural Communities

Monday, October 31, 2011: 2:30 PM
Roundtable
As HIV has become an infection that may be managed much like other chronic diseases, a focus on treatment and prevention continues. Efforts to conduct HIV testing, engage infected individuals in care, and reduce HIV transmission risk are priorities as HIV prevalence rates increase. The HIV/AIDS Section seeks to disseminate study findings related to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment in order to improve future program planning and inform needed research efforts. This session is aimed to share latest research on topics related to HIV infection in rural areas, domestic and international. The section identified this area as a priority, as there has been a consistent challenge to address HIV prevention and provide care for individuals in these areas. The section supported the development of session in order to share innovative approaches to HIV prevention and care in rural areas.
Session Objectives: Assess factors related to HIV care in rural environments Describe programs that exist in rural areas to address HIV prevention
