San Francisco, Oakland: Treatment Access and Information Workshop, July 24, July 31, or August 14

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS Issue #298, July 10, 1998
John S. James

A free, one-afternoon workshop for case managers, counselors, social workers, HIV service providers, and treatment advocates will provide training in how to help clients gain access to experimental or expensive treatments, and to find HIV information and resources on the Internet and elsewhere. This workshop, sponsored by the Community Consortium (an organization of HIV physicians in the San Francisco area) will be given in Oakland (Friday July 24, noon to 3:30 p.m., at the Center for AIDS Services, 5720 Shattuck Avenue at 57th St.), and in San Francisco (Friday July 31, and also Friday August 14, noon to 3:30 p.m., at the University of California San Francisco Mission Center Building, 1855 Folsom Street at 15th.)

"We will give you an update on clinical issues that are relevant to your clients, especially regarding side effects and drug interactions with illegal or recreational drugs. Second, we will teach you how to get your client access to care; we'll show you how to link clients to clinical research, drug assistance programs, and physician referral programs. Finally, we will teach you how to keep yourself-- and your clients--educated about HIV treatment issues in the future."

Although there is no fee, space is limited and preregistration is requested. To register, fax your name, agency, address, phone number, and the date you are interested in attending to 415-476-6948, or call the Community Consortium at 415-502-0657.
