# The State of New Media and HIV

Susannah Fox will present at the [AIDS.gov ](http://aids.gov/)satellite session "The State of New Media and HIV" during the [International AIDS Conference ](http://www.aids2012.org/)in Washington, DC.

The session aims to encourage a conversation within the HIV/AIDS community to:

- Assess the role new media can play in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment (in partnership with clients and stakeholders) to extend the reach of their work; and,
- Use new media and emerging technologies, as appropriate, to move toward an AIDS-free generation.

Fox will contribute the Pew Internet Project's latest data on social media use in the U.S.
