Satellite Broadcast on HIV Prevention
"HIV Prevention Update," a satellite broadcast, will be held
Friday, May 8, 1998, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. eastern daylight
time. Cosponsors are CDC and the Public Health Training Network.
This forum, the third in the "HIV Prevention Update" series, will
focus on two topics: surveillance of human immunodeficiency
virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and prevention
among injecting-drug users.
This broadcast is designed for staff and volunteers working in
HIV or sexually transmitted disease prevention at health
departments, community-based organizations, and community-planning
groups, including substance-abuse prevention and treatment, case
surveillance, education, and administration.
Experts in HIV/AIDS surveillance will discuss topics such as
current trends, community concerns, and upcoming program guidance
for expanded case surveillance. Other topics include the
epidemiology of HIV/AIDS associated with injecting-drug use in the
United States; how preparing and injecting illicit drugs can
transmit HIV; medical and behavioral advice for injecting-drug
users; and a comprehensive approach to prevent HIV among persons
who inject illicit drugs. Viewers are invited to submit questions
before, during, or after the program.
Additional information is available through CDC's fax
information system, telephone (888) 232-3299 (CDC-FAXX), by
