CLOSING THE HOUSING
GAP IN THE HIV TREATMENT CASCADE
The Housing & HIV/AIDS Research
Summit Series provides a unique interdisciplinary forum for presentation and
discussion of new findings on the role of housing in HIV prevention and care.
Now in its seventh year, the Summit Series is established as the premiere venue
for informing HIV/AIDS housing policy, and is acknowledged as an innovative and
influential opportunity for the broader discussion of housing and health.
The 2013 North American Housing
& HIV/AIDS Research Summit will be held September 24 - 27, in Montréal,
Québec. Researchers, policy makers, providers and consumers will come together
to review findings from research and policy initiatives, discuss evidence-based
housing practice and policy, and develop community-driven research and advocacy
strategies.
The Summit VII theme is Closing
the Housing Gap in the HIV Treatment Cascade, to focus on the potential
of housing strategies to improve HIV treatment effectiveness: the focus of HIV
prevention and care strategies in most jurisdictions. Full-day research,
practice and advocacy Learning Institutes will follow the two-day Summit
meeting.
The 2013 North American Housing
& HIV/AIDS Research Summit is convened by the National AIDS Housing
Coalition (NAHC), the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), and la coalition
des organismes communautaires québécois de lute contre le sida (COCQ-SIDA).
The convening organizations invite
broad attendance and participation at Summit VII from all parts of North
America, including Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States.
