New York, NY — In its 30th year, Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) is bringing a robust contingent to Las Vegas, Nevada for the United States Conference on AIDS (USCA). The GMHC team will present on a diverse range of critical topics, sharing their expertise and best practices with representatives of AIDS service organizations and other community-based organizations. USCA is the largest annual AIDS-related gathering in the country, bringing together thousands of service providers from all fronts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic-from case managers and physicians, to public health workers and advocates, people living with HIV/AIDS to policymakers-to build national support networks, exchange the latest information and discuss tools to bring an end to the epidemic.

"To be able to participate in this importance conference in the U.S. is significant," said Janet Weinberg, Chief Operating Officer of GMHC." I am proud that we have such talented staff members who will share their wealth of experience with people all over the country."

GMHC will be participating in five sessions which includes issues on HIV-stigma in different geographical areas and cultures; examining the impact of the Affordable Care Act on older adults living with HIV and AIDS; GMHC's innovative prevention programs for men of color who have sex with men; how social media networks help AIDS service organizations; and the challenges of HIV prevention, treatment and care for the aging.
