The 2009 U.S. Conference on AIDS opened in San Francisco at the Hilton Hotel on Oct. 29. A three-day event that drew leadership from around the country, the 2009 USCA included seminars, educational sessions, exhibitions and social gatherings which served to highlight the “changing tide” of leadership in the forefront of the battle against HIV. The lobby of the downtown Hilton was a sea of energy and vibrant color as African American, Latino, Asian Pacific Islander and women policymakers mingled in excited conversation.

But over the course of a lifetime, Black men are 6.5 times more likely to become infected with HIV than white men, and HIV infection levels among Blacks are much higher than for the country as a whole. As a result of this higher prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infection, the epidemic is much worse in Black Americans, prompting the need for testing at much higher rates to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Up to 70 percent of new infections in Black Americans are the result of risky behavior among people who do not know they are infected.
The African American HIV University, developed by the Black AIDS Institute, aims to strengthen organizational and individual capacity to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Black communities.
