“You Can’t Crush a Louse with Only One Thumb*: Integrating Biomedical and Sociocultural Approaches to HIV/AIDS in Africa,” will include two days of lectures, panel discussions and workshops on Friday, April 3, and Saturday, April 4. “The premise of ‘You can’t crush a louse with only one thumb’ is that isolated biomedical or sociocultural approaches to HIV/AIDS in Africa will not succeed,” said Janis Weeks, UO biology professor and co-director of the conference. “Conference participants will explore the view that an integrated biomedical and sociocultural approach to this disease is the most promising and effective way forward.”
