Film Discussion & Special Presentation: Ending HIV in America

In observance of World AIDS Day, the Phoenix LGBTQ Employees and Allies have partnered with the City of Phoenix Fast-Track Cities Initiative for a special presentation. Becky Lutz, Community Outreach Manager at Spectrum Medical Care, will be presenting on the basics of HIV, prevention efforts (including PrEP), treatment options, the role of stigma, U=U, and the efforts to end the HIV epidemic.

Then, immediately following the presentation, we will discuss the film “Ending HIV in America.” Almost 40 years after the discovery of HIV, could we be on the verge of ending the AIDS epidemic in America? How did scientists and the public health community tackle one of the most elusive, deadly viruses to ever infect humans? Can innovative drugs bring new infections to zero? This is the story of scientific achievement and public health work that still needs to be done to end HIV in America.
