ICRW's Asia Regional Office will co-host the second International Conference on Alcohol and HIV: Insights from Interventions in New Delhi, India. The event will highlight evaluated prevention programs, intervention research and national policies that address the links between alcohol and HIV and focus on reducing HIV risk. A special emphasis of this year’s conference will be how gender norms can increase HIV-related risks for both women and men, especially when alcohol is present.
The conference will bring together program specialists and researchers from India and neighboring South Asian countries as well as U.S. researchers working in India. The outcomes will serve as guidelines for improved alcohol-related HIV risk reduction strategies for India and the region as well as an intervention research agenda for future work in the field.
