The Global Forum
on MSM & HIV
(MSMGF) is planning the 4th pre-conference to the International AIDS
Conference in Vienna Austria. This one-day event will explore the
challenges and best practices in achieving universal access to
HIV-related prevention, care, treatment, and support services for
sexual minority communities worldwide. Be Heard! will convene 450 human
rights advocates, artists, researchers, public health officials,
multi-lateral organizations, and global donors for a day of workshops,
skills building, information exchange, and networking sessions. The MSM
pre-conference will be followed by an evening networking reception.
Due to the overwhelming response, we have closed general pre-registration to the Be Heard! MSM Pre-Conference to be held on 17 July 2010 in Vienna, Austria. Please contact aids2010@msmgf.org for any inquiries.
