USCA Exhibit # 514 & 516

  Chicago, November 10 -12, 2011

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.

U.S. Could (Finally) Legalize Condoms in Prisons and Jails

The Housing Works AIDS Issues Update Blog provides current and consistent useful information. This post by Julie Turkewitz is just one example of their work. Her posts are always well written, researched, and clearly focused. This one yesterday highlights a primary issue in the US that policy has avoided dealing with for years. Julie quotes statistics like "While an astounding 25 percent of the HIV-positive population passes through U.S. correctional facilities each year, just one percent of prisons and jails can legally distribute condoms". At Total Access Group we are happy to see action taken to make condoms available anywhere they have impact on reducing infection rates. Prisons look like an obvious to us.

U.S. Could (Finally) Legalize Condoms in Prisons and Jails

Posted by Julie Turkewitz , September 08, 2011

Incarcerated individuals may finally get access to a lifesaver: condoms.

A new bill would reverse the draconian policy of forbidding the distribution of condoms in federal correctional facilities, putting the U.S. in line with most European countries.
The legislation, called the Justice Act, was introduced by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) in August, and could help address a seemingly intractable problem: the spread of HIV during and after incarceration. “We can no longer afford to ignore the reality that sexually transmitted infections can be spread within our correctional system,” said Lee.
