On April 26 and 27, 2010, The Fenway Institute hosted a meeting of some of the United States’ top researchers, key stakeholders, and public health leaders to discuss the current state of knowledge about the sexual health of American men who have sex with men (MSM) and the implications of these findings for HIV and STD prevention programs and further health research. The meeting was sponsored by the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Office of AIDS Research and, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, with additional support from The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) and John Snow, Inc.
