Hey,
I think that instead of focusing on reaching different groups and informing them about AIDS and creating outreach, the USCA should wake up and realize the issue is not reaching different demographics, but not sugar coating the fact that people shouldn’t be putting themselves in situations that will expose them to AIDS. I mean, come on, how many people that the USCA talks to doesn’t know how one gets AIDS? Probably very few. Y’all should be informing people of what foolish decisions they are making instead of trying to provide support for those decisions they have made.

Hi,
I just wanted to give a big KUDOS to AIDS.gov for such interesting presentation at the USCA. I was really impressed by the facilitators’ expertise and the engagement of the audience as well.
I believe that presentations like this should be facilitated in every CBO through out the US so that people could really take advantage of the new media to fight against AIDS.
As myself, and after have been in the presentation, I feel more convinced that the fight against AIDS has gain an ally in the new media. So, thanks AIDS.gov for being at the USCA.

I really enjoyed the AIDS.gov New Media presentation at USCA. Not only did I make some great connections, but I learned enough to make the decision to explore developing a wiki to accompany our @US_HIV_Prev Twitter site. My sincere congratulations to everyone at NMAC, as well as to all of the other organizers, who made USCA such a success. The type of energy that permeated USCA ‘09 is just what is needed to help address HIV disparities in the United States.
