The 9th International Indigenous Pre-conference on HIV and AIDS will focus on utilizing Indigenous approaches and culture in the response to HIV and other related health conditions and surrounding issues from across North America, including Canada, the USA, and Mexico. By highlighting Indigenous issues and culture, we will contribute to the recognition of Indigenous Peoples as a “priority population” in the HIV/HCV/tuberculosis response who must receive allocated and targeted funding globally to develop evidence-based Indigenous-specific strategies.
Who should attend IIPCHA?
Indigenous health care advocates, Indigenous health departments, health advocates and Indigenous community members with living experience of HIV/AIDS/HCV/tuberculosis and STIs and their allies. Indigenous youth, Elders, traditional practitioners and community members from across the globe and their families.
