Welcome
The Salvador HIV Clinical Forum 2021 provided an independent scientific program involving the world’s leading experts and was specifically designed for Brazilian HIV healthcare professionals, focusing on optimizing treatment for their patients. The meeting aimed at increasing the knowledge and skills through lectures on novel treatment strategies, long-acting preparations, and the care of complex patients.
This program featured challenging plenary lectures followed by Q&A and debates, stimulating interactions, and the sharing of knowledge within the HIV-treating community. The program included virtual networking opportunities for community building 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 comprehensive 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. Maintaining these programs in a flexible format through the COVID-19 crisis is crucial for HIV infected patients.
