Please join us for our 24th Annual AIDS
Update Symposium! Our program strives to
examine topics that inform us about the health of
our community. This year’s symposium will take a
look at challenges facing an aging HIV population.
We will discuss new treatments for Hepatitis C that
can dramatically change the course of disease as we
currently know it. In addition, we will review new
research in HIV/AIDS care and treatment.
As health care providers, Licensed Clinical Social
Workers or Marriage and Family Therapists, HIV/
AIDS educators and concerned community members, our 24th Annual AIDS Update Symposium
will present you with important aspects of HIV and
AIDS treatment and care. Our charge in
understanding HIV and AIDS is to keep current and
find the answers to as many questions as possible for
ourselves, our clients and our patients.
