Background

The 2010 National Summit on HIV Diagnosis, Prevention, and Access to Care (November 17-19, 2010, National Harbor, MD) is sponsored by the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research in partnership with the American Academy of HIV Medicine, the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, HIV Medicine Association, Health Resources and Services Administration, Kaiser Permanente and the Veterans Administration.

The mission of the 2010 HIV Summit is to address and support the continued implementation of CDC's recommendations for increased HIV testing and to further identify and build upon strategies for HIV diagnosis, prevention, linkage to and retention in care. In short - to highlight the progress made in the four years since the recommendations were released and plan how to move from pilot and demonstration projects to sustainable programs.

The program is being developed under the leadership of the co-chairs Dr. John G Bartlett (Johns Hopkins University) and Dr. Kenneth Mayer (Brown University) and the Scientific Planning Committee representing governmental agencies, professional societies, academia, clinical care, community and advocacy organizations and the pharmaceutical sector. The program will consist of plenary sessions at the beginning and end of the conferences. Separate tracks in Testing, Prevention, Access and Linkage to Care, and Measuring Outcomes of HIV Testing Efforts will allow in-depth discussion of these topics.
