Nurses at the Forefront of HIV/AIDS: Prevention, Care and Treatment is a full-day forum for nursing professionals to be held as an affiliated event to the XVI International AIDS Conference on 12 August 2006 at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

Nurse leaders from HIV/AIDS clinical, educational, policy and research settings will discuss topics such as: harm reduction; stigma and discrimination; workplace safety; advances in clinical practice; health human resources; end of life issues; and adherence to antiretroviral therapy / universal access.

As the world’s largest group of health-care providers, nurses are actively engaged at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment and are ideally positioned to develop innovative strategies and best practices to address the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS, influence those who care and treat, and support communities with resourceful approaches to prevention.
