Overview
Welcome
The Asia-Pacific HIV Clinical Forum 2020 provided challenging plenary lectures in English followed by ample time for Q&A and debate, stimulating interaction in order to bridge the knowledge gap between experts and the HIV treating community in the Asia-Pacific region. The meeting was scheduled prior to the Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC) 2020 which allowed healthcare professionals to combine both meetings in a short time period.
This program featured challenging plenary lectures followed by ample time for Q&A and debate, stimulating interaction, and the sharing of knowledge within the HIV-treating community. Virtual networking opportunities were available, providing delegates with the unique opportunity to meet their colleagues in a focused and scientific setting.
The HIV Clinical Forum is a series of interactive programs that provide an independent scientific program on emerging topics in HIV involving experts where HIV clinicians and allied healthcare professionals receive updates on the latest developments related to HIV management, where they can share their clinical experience and present the results from their ongoing and completed cohorts/ research programs.
Furthermore, the HIV Clinical Forum provides an educational setting where healthcare professionals can acquire specific skills that will enhance their capabilities to interpret research results and even develop new research projects.
