| Details | AIDS at the Intersection of Community, Science, and Policy - A 3-part series for World AIDS Day 2020
Series Description: Since 1988 World AIDS Day has been an opportunity to remember those lost and support those affected, while uniting in the goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Join us for World AIDS Day this year for a three-part series that honors those who have made a difference: healthcare workers who comforted those with AIDS, activists who fought and still fight for better policies and treatments, and scientists who have worked for decades to save lives. Part 2 (December 2, 2020): When HIV emerged in the U.S., there was no treatment and no hope for those infected. Now, after four decades of research, it’s possible to live a long life with HIV, and the diagnostic tools needed to end the HIV epidemic could be in hand. The second program in the series explores the scientific advances made in HIV detection and treatment, as well as the obstacles we must overcome to make an HIV-free future a reality. Speakers:
-Seble Kassaye, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Medicine/Infectious Diseases, Georgetown University
-Robert Yarchoan, M.D., Chief of the HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch at the National Cancer Institute This program will be presented as a Zoom video webinar. A link will be emailed to all registrants. (Image credit: Smithsonian Institution) |
