On February 4-5, 2008 NASTAD conducted a Black Gay Men's Technical Assistance (TA) Meeting entitled, Black Gay Men and HIV/AIDS: Confronting the Crisis and Planning for Action. During this meeting, NASTAD released the findings from targeted interviews conducted with over 70 health department staff and community stakeholders from 14 jurisdictions across the country. The interviews have uncovered unprecedented insight into the lives of Black gay men and a greater detail into jurisdiction-level and community-level responses to the HIV crisis. This meeting enabled health departments to meet with a cross-section of external partners to share program information, priorities and resources, and identify the facilitators and barriers to effective programming targeting Black gay men. State and city health departments invited to participate in the meeting include California, Chicago, Florida, Illinois, Los Angeles, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York City, New York State, North Carolina, San Francisco, Texas, and the District of Columbia.
