Stigma Meeting

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) Announces the Following Meeting
    Name: Stigma Meeting.
    Time and Date: 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m., June 9, 2000.
    Place: Hyatt Regency Hotel, 265 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 
30303.
    Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available. 
The meeting room accommodates approximately 54 people.
    Purpose: To discern the role of stigma in communications efforts 
directed at HIV positive and negative persons. To consult and 
collaborate with leading experts to develop strategies for future 
efforts in prevention and to fine tune existing communications plans. 
Our continued efforts to reach those at highest-risk for HIV will 
necessitate collaboration among organizations and audiences 
infrequently reached through CDC's traditional methods.
    Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda items include an overview of the 
stigma issue, presentations on research on stigma and HIV, and an 
expert panel discussion of public health and private sector efforts 
which could together begin to counter stigma associated with HIV 
testing and early entrance into care.
