Although I didn’t get a chance to attend in person, I was able to keep tabs on what was going on at the AIDS 2010 conference this year through one of my favorite social tools: Twitter.
By dropping in the hashtag for the conference (#AIDS2010) you can see the real time updates of what folks are saying about the event. Here are 11 great resources that stood out to me – hopefully they are useful to you:
1. KFF’s Global Health Policy Report lists AIDS 2010 Interview Videos:
2. Review article of Bill Clinton’s Plenary Speech: (here is the actual video)
3. The official AIDS 2010 blog
5. UNAIDS Today website: new multimedia resource created in time for the Vienna event. Features blog posts covering relevant AIDS2010 material including videos, photos and commentary on the conference.
6. Bill Gates’ thoughts on the breakthrough treatment for female HIV prevention
7. Reuters article on President Obama’s dedication to the HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts through new global health initiative.
8. Born HIV-Free campaign: The campaign put on by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to continue research in preventing the transmission of HIV from mother to child. Great videos on their Youtube channel.
9. CNN article with stories from 3 men living with HIV and their historical points of view. Including a highlight on Phil Wilson, founder of the Black AIDS Institute, whom I got a chance to talk with earlier this year. See video below of an interview I did with him during a CDC sponsored college event for Act Against AIDS campaign.
10. The Numbers Game: Infections, Deaths and Treatments for HIV/AIDS around the globe
11. Interview with Regan Hoffman, Editor-in-Chief of POZ Magazine
Update: Mark S. King from My Fabulous Disease points out his excellent coverage of the Vienna meeting complete with video interviews!
