HIV continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the United States, with approximately 1.2 million Americans currently living with HIV and 56,000 new cases reported annually. Insights from leading experts in the field of HIV research and clinical management will provide an opportunity for HIV health care providers to learn more about this disease and to develop and implement comprehensive strategies to improve outcomes for patients with HIV. Presented in an engaging interactive forum, this program will provide an opportunity for health care providers to learn about a variety of important topics in HIV – current demographics of HIV and special issues related to HIV testing and treatment; earlier initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its potential risks/benefits; the incorporation of novel HIV agents into the current treatment armamentarium to ensure long-term efficacy and disease management; and critical factors for the aging patient with HIV and how these factors may be addressed.

Once again we would like to thank all of you who visited our booth Sunday October 4th at the Castro Street Fair, and a big thank you to all who volunteered to help us make this event a huge success! We screened over 50 people at the fair and helped spread the word about melanoma, skin cancer, and other health conditions affecting our community!
Again we would like to thank Neutrogena for donating sunscreen in support of our booth. Their generous gift helped many of those attending the fair protect themselves from the damaging effects of the sun!

Once again, thank you to all of you who have participated in our Sculptra Fundraising Program! As a way of saying thank you for all of your support, we are now beginning the Conant Foundation Free Sculptra Treatment Program for those with facial lipodystrophy syndrome (FLS).
The Conant Foundation is sponsoring eight free treatments of Sculptra per month. (These typically cost $400 per treatment.) Patients who qualify for free Sculptra treatment will have their names placed into a lottery. Those who are selected will be treated with Sculptra (1-6 times) over a period of 6 months until it is the judgment of the provider that adequate correction/restoration has been made.
