XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012)

说明(申请人提供)：全球抗击艾滋病毒的斗争要取得进展，就需要在治愈艾滋病毒方面不断取得科学进展，实施大规模的成功干预措施，以及了解流行病和最危险人群的多样性。在华盛顿特区举行的第十九届国际艾滋病大会(艾滋病2012)提供了一个机会，可以反思不断演变的流行病，展示新的科学进展，找出我们在应对流行病方面的知识差距，指导干预措施的优先事项和实施，并通过将科学界领袖、政策制定者和受影响社区聚集在一起，塑造前进的道路。近30年来，我们第一次积累了足够的证据来扭转这一流行病。自首次报告艾滋病病例以来的三十年取得了令人瞩目的成就。如果没有跨学科合作和对科学和循证政策的承诺，这些里程碑是不可能实现的。2012年大会将把不同的支持者和学科聚集在一起，以应对构成艾滋病毒在世界各地传播的根本原因的多方面挑战。这需要下一代科学家的能力建设。它需要公众认识，包括对受影响和处于危险中的社区进行扫盲教育。为了实现这些目标，我们提出了以下具体目标：“面对艾滋病疫情，需要前所未有的跨学科合作和对应用科学的承诺。科学和循证政策：促进新的科学研究和创新的循证方案和政策的传播、讨论和辩论。研究和讨论的主题将包括：针对艾滋病毒感染的治愈研究、共病、联合感染、新型预防干预措施、妇女和儿童健康，以及实施和操作研究。”如果我们不采取协调一致的合作伙伴关系，我们就不会取得成功。将不同的支持者和学科聚集在一起：促进多方利益攸关方的对话，为艾滋病毒政策和方案的研究和实施中尚未解决的挑战制定创造性的解决方案；作为全球领导的问责和反馈机制；在有限资源的情况下，制定战略性和高效的推广方法。“扩大行动的规模将需要文学和教育：能力建设和公众意识。能力建设：提高代表在其社区、国家和地区制定、引入、实施和倡导有效的、以证据为基础的艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预措施的能力。支持和鼓励年轻科学家和研究人员。公众意识：提高公众对艾滋病毒/艾滋病持续影响的认识，以及通过媒体和其他手段，包括新技术应对这一流行病的必要性。 公共卫生相关声明(由申请人提供)：艾滋病是一种复杂的疾病，需要协调一致的应对措施。只有通过共同努力并促进对话、教育、联网和宣传，国际社会才能帮助弥合各级应对措施在知识和专门知识方面的差距。在华盛顿特区举行的第十九届国际艾滋病大会(艾滋病2012)将是与会者分享该领域最新科学进展、相互学习专业知识和制定战略的重要机会 推动我们治疗和预防艾滋病毒的集体努力的方方面面。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Progress in the global fight against HIV will require continued scientific advances towards a cure for HIV, implementation to scale of successful interventions, and knowledge of the diversity of epidemics and populations most at risk. The XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC (AIDS 2012) presents the opportunity to reflect on the evolving epidemic, showcase new scientific advances, identify gaps in our knowledge in responding to the epidemic, guide prioritization and implementation of interventions, and shape the way forward by bringing together leaders in science, policy makers and affected communities. For the first time in almost three decades we have sufficient accumulated evidence to turn the epidemic around. The thirty years since the first reported cases of AIDS have borne remarkable achievements. These milestones could not have been reached without inter-disciplinary collaboration and commitment to science and evidence-based policies. The 2012 conference will bring together diverse constituencies and disciplines to tackle multi-faceted challenges that underpin the root causes that shape the spread of HIV across the world. It requires capacity building of the next generation of scientists. It requires public awareness including literacy education of affected and at-risk communities. To achieve these goals we propose the following Specific Aims: "Confronting the AIDS epidemic demands unprecedented inter-disciplinary collaboration and commitment to applied science. Science and Evidence-based Policies: To promote the dissemination, discussion, and debate of new scientific research and innovative evidence-based programs and policies. Research and discussion topics will include: research toward a cure for HIV infection, co-morbidities, co-infections, novel preventive interventions, women and child health, and implementation and Operational Research. "We will not achieve success despite scientific advances if we do not act in coordinated partnership. Bringing Together Diverse Constituencies and Disciplines: To facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop creative solutions to unresolved challenges in research and implementation of HIV policies and programs; to serve as an accountability and feedback mechanism for global leadership; and to develop methods for strategic and efficient scale-up in the context of limited resources. "To increase the scale of action will require literac and education: Capacity Building and Public Awareness. Capacity Building: To increase the capacity of delegates to develop, introduce, implement, and advocate for effective, evidence-based HIV/AIDS interventions in their communities, countries and regions. To support and encourage young scientists and researchers. Public Awareness: To increase public awareness of the continued impact of HIV/AIDS and the need for responses to the epidemic through the media and other means, including new technology. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE STATEMENT (provided by applicant): AIDS is a complex disease that requires a coordinated response. It is only by working together and promoting dialogue, education, networking and advocacy, that the world community can help seal gaps in knowledge and expertise at every level of the response. The XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC (AIDS 2012) will be an important opportunity for participants to share the latest scientific advances in the field, learn from one another's expertise, and develop strategies for advancing all facets of our collective efforts to treat and prevent HIV.
