About The National Virtual Gathering

This year marks almost 40 years since doctors first reported cases of an uncommon pneumonia among gay men in Los Angeles, and 30 years of the Ryan White program - the hallmark of our national government’s response to the HIV epidemic.

Approximately 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV, countless more are at-risk amid swirling syndemics of the coronavirus, opioid use, hepatitis C and sexually transmitted infections while universal access to prevention, care and treatment for society’s most vulnerable populations remains unacceptably elusive.

Today, we have all the tools necessary to end HIV as an epidemic. Panelists will discuss what the United States can do to reverse troubling HIV trends, and the steps needed to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

For questions about this national virtual gathering, please contact Vivent Health Chief Advocacy Officer, Bill Keeton, at bill.keeton@viventhealth.org or (414) 225-1572.
