National AIDS Treatment Advocates Forum, October 15-18, Los Angeles

NMAC, the National Minority AIDS Council, is sponsoring a
National AIDS Treatment Advocates Forum, October 15-18 at the
Century Plaza Hotel & Tower, Los Angeles. (Note that this
meeting is just before the 1995 National Skills Building
Conference, October 19-22, in the same Los Angeles hotel.)

Topics tentatively scheduled include antiviral drugs, immune-
based therapies, treatments for opportunistic infections,
malignancies, women's health, basic science workshops,
research policy and legislation, and treatment education.
This forum is to "foster dialog and exchange of information
and ideas, and facilitate the development of leadership that
can advocate for better treatments and educate people with
AIDS and their caregivers on the latest treatment advances."

Co-sponsors are the AIDS Action Council, AIDS Project Los
Angeles, American Foundation for AIDS Research, Gay Men's
Health Crisis, National Association of People with AIDS,
National Minority AIDS Council, Project Inform, and the
Treatment Action Group.

Conference registration is $100 if received by September 29,
$150 later. Single or double occupancy rooms at the Century
Plaza Hotel & Tower are $89 per night for this meeting, if
reserved by September 29. For more information, contact David
