The conference will feature oral and poster presentations by faculty, student and emerging researchers from various institutions. The event is open to anyone working on HIV prevention and treatment, including those from CBOs/ASOs, HIV clinics, public health departments, and academic institutions.

Covid-19: We are monitoring developments on COVID-19 and the safety of our participants is our top priority.
