Thank you for joining us today for what will be a compelling conversation. One that will provide great hope that we can make a difference in the fight against aids. But also it will remind us there is still much, much to be done. And partly, we will need to double down on our efforts if we need to set out in the bold tenure federal initiative championed by the nh and cdc and by our special guest doctor anthony and doctor john brooks. Here at the Bloomberg School of Public Health we have talked about the power of public heal health, the power that comes from doing the fundamental research and translating the research into programs and policies that make a difference. The power that comes from strong partnerships across disciplines, public and private sectors and across communities. In the power that comes from advocating solutions of the state, local and national levels. The fight against hivaids exemplifies how sustained commitment to these powers can make a true difference.
