USAID was proud to be a sponsor of the 14th International
AIDS Conference in Barcelona, Spain, from July 7-12, 2002.
The theme of the conference was "Knowledge and Commitment
for Action." The theme was selected to reinforce the
need that all involved sectors at all levels, including
scientists, the community, people working in the field,
and the public and private sectors, work together to review
the knowledge gained through science and experience, and
use this knowledge to commit to action. This action must
be focused across all aspects of HIV/AIDS and include all
infected and affected groups. Webcasts of the conference
activities are available at www.kaisernetwork.org,
the free news summary and webcasting service of the Kaiser
Family Foundation.
