USCA Press Reports:
2011 USCA Theme
This year's conference theme is
"Make Change Real: Unite. Speak. Act." It is meant to express the
crossroads in which our movement finds itself. The implementation of
policies like the Affordable Care Act and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy
have put us on a path to increase access to care, reduce infections and
mitigate health disparities. At the same time, new biomedical
interventions such as treatment as prevention and pre-exposure
prophylaxis offer powerful new prevention tools. But the difficult
fiscal climate has put pressure on Washington and state legislators to
reduce spending, threatening to undermine this progress.
2011 USCA Target Populations: Gay Men
The target population of the 2011 USCA is gay men and other men who
have sex with men (MSM). The need to address the impact of HIV/AIDS on
gay men -- and particularly gay men of color -- has never been greater.
New estimates released by the CDC highlight the continued
disproportionate impact HIV has had on this population. The three
segments of the U.S. population with the highest number of infections in
2009 were White, African American and Latino gay men respectively.
This was the first year that infections among Latino gay men outpaced
African American women. Perhaps most alarming, between 2006 and 2009,
infections among young black gay men spiked 43 percent.
