On February 12th, 2010, Houston becomes host to the first annual CHILDREN’S AIDS DAY Conference – refocusing our attention on the plight of children and families affected by this deadly disease.

From the recent increase of transmission of HIV from mother to infant, to the psychological challenges facing children and adolescents afflicted with HIV and AIDS, there are many topics that are in need of discussion and understanding by the community at large.

Bottom Line: what does the future hold for our children and families battling this modern day plague?

Scheduled Guests:
Heidi Schwarzwald, MD
MPH Baylor International AIDS Initiative

Kristin Close, LMSW
