The Abt Global team is proud to participate in the 2020 National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care & Treatment, which will take place virtually. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP), administered by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is commemorating 30 Years of Innovating Care, Optimizing Public Health, Ending the HIV Epidemic, as this year’s conference theme states.
Abt has more than 30 years of experience combatting HIV & AIDS. As part of our work for RWHAP, Abt has furthered the understanding of barriers to care, barriers to maintaining viral suppression, and the unmet needs of key populations disproportionately impacted by the epidemic.
Abt staff will share program insights in the following presentations:
