Conference goals

Welcome to a blog that will cover the 2008 National Summit on HIV Diagnosis, Prevention and Access to Care, held for two days in Arlington, Va.


Dr. Veronica Miller, executive director of the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, the conference organizer, first defined the goals of the meeting.


She said she wanted to give an update on the current status of the HIV epidemic in the United States; review what has been learned in the last two years; determine how to build on those lessons; and then to set goals for the next two years.


Dr. John Bartlett, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, a medical doctor and one of the co-chairs of the summit, said one thing pained him in particular: ``We are finding patients too late in the disease – it’s a problem in the US and a problem globally. We need to keep treating patients earlier. They keep coming to us too late.’’

He extolled the benefits of rapid HIV testing and noted that some progress has been made following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s call two years ago for routine HIV testing among all Americans aged 13 to 64.


Still, said his fellow co-chair, Dr. Kenneth Mayer, director of Brown University AIDS Program, and also a medical doctor, far too little has been done in focusing efforts to increase HIV prevention, including testing, in the areas that need it the most.


``There is evidence of recent infection clusters --populations that are most severely affected but are unlikely to be aware of’’ of the HIV epidemic. He said in some cases, public health officials should aim their efforts on a ``block to block’’ scale in urban areas in order to more accurately target prevention efforts.
