A World AIDS Day 2007 Event

“Hope for the future, stopping HIV through cutting edge research”

The Minnesota AIDS Project would like to thank Martin Delaney, the HIV/AIDS Division of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, the HIV Services Planning Council, Hennepin County Medical Center Positive Care Clinic, Intermedia Arts, Chef Todd, and all of Friday's attendees for helping us commemorate World AIDS Day 2007 discussing the future of HIV research.

This is an exciting time in the world of HIV treatment as many new potent HIV medications are on or about to come to market.  These new medications offer hope especially for those who have exhausted their medication options along with anyone living with HIV who is on HIV medication therapy.  Along with these new medications, the evening focused on cutting edge research in the areas of gene therapy, vaccine research, and microbicide development.

Martin Delaney, founder of California's Project Inform, discussed these new medications and cutting edge HIV treatment options alongside community speakers who shared the messages of hope they are imparting to the HIV community. Martin presented the material masterfully to both an afternoon crowd of caregivers and an evening crowd of the general public in a way that everyone could understand. Attendees also had a chance to raise questions and discuss their own experiences following Delaney's presentation.Thanks again, everyone!
