This one day conference explores innovative HIV and care strategies, traverses the intersections of racism and injustice faced by communities most vulnerable to HIV, and debuts the draft plan for Getting to Zero Illinois
As late, great Mayor Harold Washington once said, “Our concern is to heal. Our concern is to bring together.” In the spirit of Mayor Washington and in commemoration of World AIDS Day 2018, this special day-long conference will address innovative prevention and care strategies as we traverse the intersections of racism and injustice faced by our communities most vulnerable to HIV. “Chicago is one city. We shall work as one people for our common good and our common goals,” Mayor Washington said, “business as usual will not be accepted by the people of this city.” And business as usual will not get us to zero. In tandem, we must dismantle racism and strive for full health equity for all people who live here, especially our communities most impacted by HIV. In particular, these include cisgender and transgender women of color, and gay, bisexual, and same gender loving Black and Latinx men.
