TasP, HPTN, NHAS: what do these letters have to do with the end of HIV/AIDS, and why do we care?
Join us for an evening with Paul Kawata, Executive Director of the National Minority AIDS Council, as he talks about the beginning of the end of HIV/AIDS. Paul will discuss the new concept of Treatment as Prevention (TasP) and how it dovetails with the HIV Prevention Trial Network's (HPTN) latest research, demonstrating that early HIV treatment can reduce transmission by 96%. He will provide a roadmap on how TasP and HPTN align with the nation's first ever National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) to create more than a list of letters. What is your role in this movement?
We are at a turning point in the epidemic. Make sure you have the latest information so that you can play your role.
