Conference: What’s Indian about HIV/AIDS in India?

Participants at this multidisciplinary conference discussed how economics, culture, and systems of representation have converged to shape the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India. The goal of the conference was to explore comprehensive, context-sensitive responses to public health threats through discussion on the “Indian-ness” of HIV/AIDS. It featured leading scholars in public health and communications as well as practitioners from organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United Nations Development Programme. Products of the conference, which are currently being produced, will include a resource website, a video release of conference proceedings, and an edited volume of the conference proceedings.
