A Community Update on HIV Prevention Research
Could a pill a day protect you from HIV? Could a gel, liquid, or foam prevent vaginal or rectal HIV transmission? Will we one day have a safe, effective HIV Vaccine?Join us for a discussion on HIV prevention research taking place around the world and right here in Washington DC. We’ll discuss vaccine research, microbicide research, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) research. We’ll also talk about crystal meth and other substance use among trial participants, the connection between substance use and high risk sexual behavior, and how researchers incorporate harm reduction counseling into clinical trials for at-risk individuals.
Thursday May 14th at 7:00 PM at the Human Rights Campaign Equality Center, 1640 Rhode Island Ave NW.

Greetings from South Africa David- where these new tools were discussed in detail at last week's AIDS conf in Durban: http://www.saaids.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=37&Itemid=98. It'll be interesting to see if there are similar responses to this research in DC. Hope to see you there!
