2012 CDC Conference

March 12-15, 2012
Minneapolis, Minnesota

"The 2012 National STD Prevention Conference is taking place just two years before the scheduled implementation, in 2014, of a number of key provisions outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Although we do not yet know the extent to which these changes will impact STD prevention, programs, or service delivery, the field of STD prevention and control must be poised to respond to changes in multiple arenas. These anticipated changes provide us with the unique opportunity to change the narrative; in light of this, we’re pleased to announce that the theme for our upcoming Conference is 'STD Prevention Innovation: Solutions for the Era of Healthcare Reform.' This theme was chosen to illustrate the approach we want to take in the future: positive, practical, and predicated on a proactive approach to problem solving. The 2012 National STD Prevention Conference will provide an important opportunity to build knowledge and explore partnerships as we usher in an era of reform, not only for the healthcare system broadly but also for STD prevention and control. Please join us as we explore the possibilities for moving STD prevention and control into the future!"

Many branches of social, medical and applied sciences have originated from the East and have illuminated the world. Once more, the light of science for sexually transmitted infections will rise from the mystic atmosphere of the East Mediterranean in 2012.
