Event highlights new research on AIDS

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) will host the seventh annual AIDS Science Day on Friday, April 22, at the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale, located at 155 Temple St.

CIRA-affiliated scientists from Yale, the Hispanic Health Council and The Institute for Community Research will present their findings to scientists and community members. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required for lunch.

The event will feature the latest research in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. The event is also an opportunity to improve existing HIV/AIDS programs; to build coalitions to support improved services; and to increase collaboration between the community and the University.

Activities will include panel presentations, a poster session, 18 community booths and a keynote address by George Ayala, director of the Institute for Gay Men's Health. Also on display throughout the conference will be a traveling photo exhibit titled "Giving Women Power Over AIDS," sponsored by the Global Campaign for Microbicides.

The day's agenda follows:

8:15-9 a.m.: Registration.
