On Thursday, March 1, 2007 from 9 - 11:30 AM (Eastern Standard Time), the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) and the INFO (Information and Knowledge for Optimal Health) Project — both based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs — in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), and USAID, will host an event focused on client provider interaction (CPI) as it responds to clients’ family planning (FP) needs in HIV/AIDS service settings. This year’s event, includes representatives from Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and also highlights Pathfinder International’s experiences in Ethiopia, and Family Health International’s (FHI) work in South Africa. The purpose of this event is to facilitate ongoing networking and dialogue among program managers, researchers, and others interested in improving CPI as it relates to clients’ FP needs within HIV/AIDS service settings. Better counseling on FP for HIV/AIDS clients can enhance client satisfaction and improve health outcomes. This year’s event will focus on clients’ experiences and perspectives. The March 1st event will begin with a simultaneous, interactive videoconferencing session connecting participants at sites in Baltimore, Geneva, Atlanta, Addis Ababa, and Johannesburg. To provide alternative viewing options for participants in other locations and at other times, this session will also be both simultaneously Web cast and archived on the Internet. During the web-conference, we will be available for questions and comments on Windows Live Messenger (Download Windows Live Messenger). To chat with us, please add FP-HIV-CPI@hotmail.com as a contact. Following the videoconference will be two week-long online forum CPI in FP/HIV integration utilizing the Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Knowledge Gateway (http://my.ibpinitiative.org/public/fphivintegration/)" . The forum will run from March 5 to March 16 and will be moderated by content experts from multiple organizations.
