James F. Sullivan, M.D., prominent specialist in Infectious Disease and Internal Medicine at Saint Joseph Hospital, will give a talk on the dramatic benefits on HIV testing and early HIV treatment on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. The Center for Disease Control recently began recommending that men and women with HIV seek treatment earlier than previously advised. This policy change marks a significant shift in the way patients with HIV are treated. Dr. Jim Sullivan is a well-respected Infectious Disease specialist who has been serving HIV patients at Saint Joseph Hospital for 15 years. He sees patients at the Labouré Clinic and also at Lake Shore Infectious Disease, a private practice. The talk is sponsored by Saint Joseph Hospital in co-sponsorship with Center on Halsted. Anyone currently engaged in a field related to HIV treatment is encouraged to attend, but the event will also contain information valuable to anyone seeking more information about HIV testing and treatment. The talk will be held at Center on Halsted, 3656 N Halsted, Chicago, IL 60613 on Tuesday, August 24 at 6:30 PM. Light refreshments will be provided. Any interested attendees are encouraged to RSVP with Ryan Erickson (rerickson@centeronhalsted.org or 773.661.0771), Community Relations and Outreach Manager.
