Recent biomedical advances in HIV prevention and treatment present great promise and opportunity for researchers and implementers. Multiple influences—including resources, proper investment and planning, sound systems, and psychosocial, behavioral and structural factors—drive the ultimate success of these advances.
Creative Associates International’s event, Building an AIDS-free Generation: Science, Care & More, will bring together experts to share critical insights and perspectives for effective integration of new biomedical advances into HIV programming. By focusing the conversation on implementation, we will explore practical applications to achieve program outcomes that support the future of an AIDS-free generation. Join the conversation!
