The ProCAARE discussion forum, established as a partnership between SATELLIFE and the Harvard AIDS Institute/Harvard School of Public Health (HAI), has been operating since 1996. Health and Development Networks (HDN), our new team partner, brings a wealth of experience to ProCAARE in the coverage of on-site HIV/AIDS conferences. For the past four years, staff of HDN have also established, managed and moderated many discussion groups on HIV/AIDS.

The goal of the discussion group is to provide a forum for dialogue among clinical and public health physicians, nurses, researchers, policy makers, program managers, and other interested health practitioners both in the developing and industrialized world who are engaged in the fight against AIDS. Discussion centres on the continuum of biomedical and care issues covering such topics as prevention, access to drugs, home and institutional care, education, and epidemiology.

ProCAARE ensures that the health professional in the developing world can communicate and exchange information on HIV/AIDS with colleagues around the world. A special focus of ProCAARE is to stimulate and support communication within the region among colleagues who share similar challenges and concerns. To maintain a high-quality and lively interaction, moderators actively monitor the discussion. The moderators also support the network by supplying summaries of current and relevant research findings and other material of interest. A Steering Committee comprised of representatives from internationally-recognized institutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Europe and North America guides the overall direction of the discussion group.
