2012 International Military HIV/AIDS Conference (IMilHAC): Re-Energizing HIV Campaigns

Abstract

On May 7-10, 2012, the US Department of Defense hosted the International Military HIV/AIDS Conference (IMilHAC): Re- Energizing HIV Campaigns, in Maputo, Mozambique. The conference was attended by 417 participants. The objectives were to (1) highlight the role of leadership in successful military HIV/AIDS programs; (2) emphasize the best military health system practices in HIV prevention, care, treatment, and strategic information; (3) facilitate military to military technical assistance, networking, and partnerships; and (4) consolidate advances in military medical HIV programs to support an agile, effective, and sustainable response to the epidemic. In order to accomplish these objectives, the 4-day conference offered plenary and concurrent sessions in two tracks: prevention and care/treatment, as well as hosted several networking events. Feedback from the daily evaluations expressed that the meeting was extremely well organized, presented cutting-edge techniques, and provided useful information applicable to military HIV/AIDS programs.
