Phill Wilson, President and CEO, Black AIDS Institute displays BTAN T-Shirt.

This week the Black AIDS Institute will be reporting each day from the 2015 U.S. Conference on AIDS in Washington, D.C. This is our first issue of the Black AIDS Daily.

In this issue we report on "Black Lives Matter: Local Impact/National Reach," the second national conference of Black Treatment Advocates Network (BTAN).

We run a piece from our partners AIDS.gov describing their activities at the conference and how you can participate whether you are able to attend or not.

Our friends at FHI360 are running their Crowd360 initiative, here at USCA. We tell you how to access their curated content, submit content to their platform and receive daily email updates.

Recently, our hosts here in Washington, D.C., have experienced remarkable success with a needle-exchange program that one study suggests has prevented hundreds of new HIV infections.

Finally, the Obama administration has issued a wide-reaching proposal that bars medical providers and insurers from discriminating based on gender, specifically broadening protections for transgender Americans.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
