4th South African AIDS Conference - Scaling Up for Success
Our theme this year: ‘Scaling up for success’ recognises that there is an urgency to take stock of best practices in treatment and prevention and to scale these up sufficiently to begin to roll back the onslaught in numbers and impact that the epidemic is currently waging in Southern Africa. We know what needs to be done. We have a National Strategic Plan that is all at once comprehensive, challenging and ambitious. We need to examine the evidence of how these goals can be achieved critically, assess feasibility and then remove all obstacles and barriers to implement as widely and as efficiently as possible. We need to identify the gaps in the evidence and systematically set out to meet those knowledge gaps. More than ever before we need to come together as a region, declare war on the epidemic and begin to see the rates in Southern Africa decline.
Five tracks form part of the Conference’s programme, and they are:
- Track 1 - Basic Science
- Track 2 - Clinical Sciences
- Track 3 - Epidemiology, Prevention and Public Health
- Track 4 - Social and Economic Sciences, Human Rights and Ethics
- Track 5 - Practices and Programmes
