| The conference aim will focus on the colliding co-occurring epidemics of HIV, Viral Hepatitis, and Opioids. The conference will explore the scope of the problem sharing opportunities to reduce infectious disease co-morbidities of injection drug use, especially those that can be implemented efficiently through the existing public health and medical systems.
We aim to unite a multidisciplinary mix of over 125 delegates including community members, RNs, LPNs, physicians, social workers, HIV and Hepatitis C prevention providers, government health agencies, community-based organizations, AIDS service organizations, and pharmaceutical representatives. Nursing and Social Work CEUs will be available for a small fee through the Midwest AIDS Training and Education Center (MATEC) for those that request them. |
