This conference presents an opportunity to bring together women's 
health groups,
HIV/AIDS groups and breastfeeding and infant feeding advocates for a critical
examination of the role of gender in health research, and how evidence is used
(or not used) to direct policy relevant to women's health, infant health, and
HIV/AIDS. The conference will incorporate these multiple perspectives, as well
as review the latest research on the transmission of HIV and the health
outcomes of different infant feeding options, often missing from clinical
discussions of pediatric AIDS (also referred to as
mother-to-child-transmission, MTCT).

One workshop focus on HIV and food security.

This conference aims to bring together individuals and groups with different
perspectives on gender and HIV/AIDS in a safe environment where divergent views
are respected. We welcome your participation.
