Coming soon: reporting from AIDS 2012NAM is proud to provide the official online scientific news coverage at the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012), to be held in Washington DC later this month. As a subscriber to NAM’s regular email bulletins, you also automatically receive our conference bulletins free of charge. (We won't be sending our regular bulletins during the conference.) This year’s conference will be the biggest yet. After several years of exciting scientific developments, AIDS 2012 will challenge us all to ask how we can turn the tide of the epidemic using all the new tools and knowledge now at our disposal. Conference email bulletinsEach day during the conference, delegates and subscribers around the world will receive an email bulletin from NAM summarising the key news of the previous day, with links to all our news reports. The bulletin helps conference delegates and subscribers catch the key points of major scientific studies, with an emphasis on the data that are likely to have the biggest impact on practice and policy. As a regular subscriber to our bulletins, you will automatically receive the bulletin in English. The conference bulletins are also available in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Russian, so if you would like to receive the bulletin in another language, please go to our conference webpages to sign up. Please also let any of your colleagues or friends know about this service. They can sign up for conference bulletins on our conference webpages, or can sign up for our regular bulletins at www.aidsmap.com/bulletins. The conference bulletins will also be added to our conference webpages at www.aidsmap.com/aids2012. Related linksPreparing for the conference
This will be a huge conference, with many interesting presentations. Whether or not you are attending the conference, you’re bound to find something that interests or inspires you. The conference programme is already available through the official conference website, so you can take a look in advance and decide what sessions you are most interested in. Once the conference is underway, any extra media available, such as slides, audio or video, will be added to these pages. NAM’s news coverage will focus on five major themes, incorporating research findings reported across all tracks of the conference:
You can get up to speed on these key themes before the conference starts: visit our conference webpages to find links to a collection of articles. Once again, we are pleased to partner with UNICEF to ensure the widest possible awareness of the latest developments in treatment, prevention and care that will benefit infants, children and young people.

As well as accessing our news through our website, you can also download our free iPhone app, or follow our news feed on Twitter @aidsmap_news. Each day, our reporters will be covering the key scientific presentations at the conference, publishing news stories to communicate the evidence of what works, what doesn’t, and the views of the world’s leading researchers, activists and policy makers on where the HIV field is going next. You can find out more about the news team in the NAM blog. In addition to publishing abstracts and posters on the official conference website, the conference organisers film key sessions and produce webcasts, so you can watch presentations and often you can also download slides. We will include relevant links to these in our news stories and bulletins as soon as they become available. Related linksShare the knowledge
There’s already quite a buzz around the conference on websites like Twitter and Facebook. We will be blogging from the conference, capturing some of the informal conversations that contribute to the atmosphere of this major event in the calendar of the AIDS response. Our writers will also be tweeting about the news and discussions that excite them. You can start following them on Twitter by visiting our conference social media webpage. We’ll also be following the #AIDS2012 hashtag on Twitter and we’ll put together a selection of tweets on our conference webpage. We’ve opened a Facebook event, which you can join whether or not you’ll be at the conference in Washington. You can help us to share the latest research in HIV. We’d love you to to share links to news stories, bulletins or other aidsmap.com pages, whether by email, in newsletters, blogs or on other social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Before the conference begins you can help by letting your contacts know they can sign up to receive the free bulletins at www.aidsmap.com/aids2012.

We would love to meet you in person! This year, NAM has a stand in the exhibition hall. We will be at stand 22, in exhibition hall C. We would love to see you, hear about you and your work, and show you some of our print and web-based resources. The conference is a great opportunity for us to meet and talk to some of the people who use the information we produce in many different countries. We always enjoy hearing about the ways people use our resources and what else you might need. We really value your feedback, so please come and visit us!

Organisers: University of California San Francisco (Institute for Health Policy Studies, Global Health Sciences, and AIDS Research Institute), National Institute on Drug Abuse, and Vestergaard Frandsen. HIV/AIDS, diarrhoea, and malaria are major causes of mortality and morbidity. Integrated prevention campaigns (IPC) can quickly and efficiently increase coverage for these diseases. In 2008, a Govt of Kenya and partner integrated prevention campaign reached 47,000 people in 7 days with insecticide-treated bed nets, water filters, and voluntary counselling and testing. This approach can help countries achieve HIV prevention and treatment goals. This satellite meeting reviews the evidence on implementation, health impact, and cost-effectiveness, and examines potential global applicability and impact, including estimated cost and health benefits.

I initially couldn't bring myself to talk to even my closest friends or family about the diagnosis and aidsmap.com has helped me beyond belief and helped me to be able to talk to others in person.” Related links | ||||||
