XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012)

描述（由申请人提供）：在全球抗击艾滋病毒的斗争中取得进展将需要在治愈艾滋病毒方面继续取得科学进步，实施成功的干预措施，以及了解流行病和高危人群的多样性。在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿举行的第十九届国际艾滋病大会（2012年艾滋病）提供了一个机会，可以借此反思不断演变的流行病，展示新的科学进步，找出我们在应对这一流行病方面的知识差距，指导干预措施的优先排序和实施，并通过将科学界领导人、决策者和受影响社区聚集在一起来确定前进的道路。近三十年来，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30年取得了显著成就。如果没有跨学科的合作以及对科学和循证政策的承诺，这些里程碑就不可能实现。2012年会议将汇集不同的支持者和学科，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。这需要提高公众认识，包括对受影响和面临风险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：“应对艾滋病流行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：对艾滋病毒感染，合并症，合并感染，新的预防干预措施，妇女和儿童健康，实施和业务研究治愈的研究。“如果我们不以协调的伙伴关系采取行动，尽管科学取得了进步，我们也不会取得成功。汇集不同的支持者和行业：促进多方利益攸关方对话，为研究和执行艾滋病毒政策和方案方面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;并制定在资源有限的情况下战略性和有效扩大规模的方法。“要扩大行动规模，就需要文学和教育：能力建设和公众意识。能力建设：提高代表们在其社区、国家和区域制定、介绍、实施和倡导有效的、循证的艾滋病毒/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，并认识到必须通过媒体和其他手段，包括新技术，对这一流行病作出反应。 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，促进对话、教育、联网和宣传，国际社会才能帮助弥补各级防治工作在知识和专门知识方面的差距。在华盛顿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各个方面。

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.
