The 32nd Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) is being held on March 9 -12, 2025, in San Francisco, California. Learn more about CROI 2025 and the exciting work of our CHIPTS scientists featured at the conference below.

 

What is CROI 2025?

CROI 2025 provides a forum for scientists and clinical investigators to present, discuss, and critique their investigations into the epidemiology and biology of human retroviruses and associated diseases. CROI is the preeminent HIV research meeting in the world and includes up to 4,000 HIV research and care leaders internationally. CROI has facilitated the presentation of important discoveries in the field, thereby accelerating progress in HIV and AIDS research.

 

CHIPTS at CROI 2025

Several CHIPTS scientists will be sharing exciting research findings and project updates at CROI 2025, contributing to the dissemination of crucial information that advances HIV prevention and treatment initiatives globally. We are delighted to highlight workshops, oral abstracts, and poster abstracts featuring the important work of our CHIPTS scientists.
