2023 National HIV & Hepatitis Technical Assistance Meeting
NASTAD’s 2023 National HIV & Hepatitis Technical Assistance Meeting was October 11-13, 2023 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C
NASTAD’s 2023 National HIV & Hepatitis Technical Assistance Meeting allowed ADAP coordinators, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B coordinators, prevention managers, and hepatitis coordinators from states and CDC directly-funded jurisdictions to participate in various conversations about HIV and hepatitis policy, clinical developments, and innovative programming. The theme was “Reaffirming Meaningful Community Engagement,” and included focused discussion on engaging communities that are crucial to ending intersecting syndemics – specifically gay/bisexual men and other men who have sex with men; people of transgender experience; people who are aging with HIV; and people who use drugs.
This in-person meeting was formatted to include plenary sessions, breakout discussion sessions, and affinity sessions; more than 300 participants attended during the course of the three-day event. Federal partners from the CDC, HRSA, and other agencies participated in a federal partners roundtable and answered questions from participants. Finally, the meeting included informal networking opportunities for health department staff to share lessons learned with peers from across the United States, and meet with industry partners in the exhibit space.
Please direct all general questions about the meeting to Isaiah Webster.
