PRNewswire - October 22, 2009


BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sunday, November 1, 2009 the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) is hosting an open community discussion on the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) at Berkeley High School. The forum is open to everyone interested in listening or sharing opinions related to the NHAS.

Individuals attending the HIV/AIDS Community Discussion will be given up to one minute to provide their National HIV/AIDS Strategy recommendations. In addition, participants will be given the opportunity to submit written recommendations before leaving the event, or alternatively, can forward their recommendations to AIDSpolicy@who.eop.gov.

President Obama has already identified three goals for the NHAS:

-- Reduce HIV incidence

-- Increase access to care and optimize health outcomes

-- Reduce HIV-related health disparities

The event will take place from 2 - 4 p.m. inside the Berkeley High School Auditorium, 1980 Allston Way (at Milvia Street), Berkeley, CA.

The venue is accessible by public transportation. Organizers hope to draw hundreds of concerned community members, including leaders from the faith and business communities.
