USCHA: 2024 US Conference on HIV/AIDS

CHLP staff convenes in New Orleans for USCHA 2024, the United States Conference on HIV/AIDS, hosted by NMAC. USCHA is the largest HIV-related gathering in the United States, bringing together thousands of participants from all segments of the HIV epidemic. The event will highlight Southern activists, advocates, and allies. 

CHLP staff have a very full schedule of presentations this week. If you are attending USCHA, be sure to catch the following presentations or stop by our table in the exhibit hall.

Please note (9/10/24): With tropical storm Francine impacting Louisiana and the New Orleans area over the next few days, we hope for safety and minimal disruptions for everyone affected. Any changes to our schedule as a result of the storm will be updated here and on our social channels.
