Susannah Fox will present at the AIDS.gov satellite session “The State of New Media and HIV” during the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC.

The session aims to encourage a conversation within the HIV/AIDS community to:

• Assess the role new media can play in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment (in partnership with clients and stakeholders) to extend the reach of their work; and,
• Use new media and emerging technologies, as appropriate, to move toward an AIDS-free generation.

Fox will contribute the Pew Internet Project’s latest data on social media use in the U.S.
