AB OBJECTIVE: Current HIV treatment information is available to a small
group of individuals. The Project Inform Town Meeting is a model for the
dissemination of treatment information to ever increasing numbers of
people. METHODS: Project Inform utilizes both slides and overheads in
the presentation of information. The Town Meeting speaker is trained for
the presentation of a fixed program. The program is constantly updated
by treatment information specialists within the Project Inform
organization. The Town Meetings sites are chosen by HIV prevalence
demographics and population cores. RESULTS: The Project Inform Town
Meeting is a successful means of distributing current cutting-edge
treatment information. One measure of this success is the number of
phone calls for additional information our hotline receives after a Town
Meeting. A continued increase in the use of Project Inform's hotline and
requests for written information is demonstrative of the success of the
Town Meeting model. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The Project Inform Town
Meeting is a model for the delivery of HIV treatment information to
large audiences. The Town Meeting model can be translated to audiences
with multicultural backgrounds. Project Inform is dedicated to the
continuation and strengthening of the Town Meeting model.
