The Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus (CBGMC) welcomes the U.S. Conference on AIDS to Chicago this week. CBGMC is co-sponsoring a National Black Gay Men’s Townhall with the Black AIDS Institute, the National Black Gay Men’s Network, and the National Black Gay Men’s Advocacy Coalition. They are also partnering with Black Men’s Xchange (BMX) to host a film screening.

Meanwhile, the Black AIDS Institute has launched a new initiative, The Black Treatment Advocates Network (BTAN). BTAN will train and mobilize a team of treatment advocates with a mission of linking Black Americans with HIV into care and treatment, strengthening local and national leadership, and advocating for policy change and research priorities.
Southside Help Center serves as their partner for BTAN Chicago.
