Promoting Sexual Health: Basic Science to Best Practices

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure and honor to invite you to the 12th IUSTI World Congress of Sexually Transmitted Infections & AIDS and the 35th National conference of IAS STD & AIDS, November 2-5, 2011, in New Delhi, India. Our International Scientific Committee will create a stimulating scientific program that is rewarding to all participants.  Our theme, “Promoting Sexual Health: Basic Science to Best Practices”, will challenge us to optimize the implementation of the latest scientific discoveries and best practices regarding prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of STIs/HIV, through integrated programmatic approaches to achieve sexual health.
The challenges in the battle against STIs and HIV are ever more important today as we aim to promote sexual health from birth to senior citizens. We will be collaborating with global and local faculty to bring you a diverse and rewarding scientific program that encompasses basic science, epidemiology, clinical science, vaccine research, and the programs that assimilate these into best practices.

The venue will be the Vigyan Bhawan, India’s premiere Conference Center, located in one of the most beautiful locations in New Delhi near the President’s Estate and India Gate.  It is within walking distance of the Gallery of Modern Art and the National Museum.

The problems and challenges of STIs and HIV pose obstacles which scientists must meet with energy and resolve, so that the knowledge gained by international collaborations with our fellow colleagues will be successful in combating the rising epidemics of STIs and HIV through promoting sexual health. We look forward to seeing you in New Delhi in November 2011 for an exciting World Congress of Sexually Transmitted Infections & AIDS.
