Miami Beach holds Latino AIDS conference

Miami Herald - July 29, 2007


Lack of access to medical care and lack of awareness of the AIDS virus within the nation's community of undocumented immigrants are among some of the topics that will be discussed during The National Conference on Latinos and AIDS to be held Monday and Tuesday in Miami Beach.

Hundreds of primary care providers, doctors, nurses, government researchers and leaders of community-based AIDS service organizations are expected to attend.

Other items on top of the agenda include restrictions on government subsidies, the fast spread of the disease and the increasing need for testing.

Admission to the conference is $135. For more information, visit www.minority-healthcare.com or call 1-866-901-6267.
