Overview
Welcome
The Global HIV Clinical Forum 2020: Optimizing Treatment was held as a virtual meeting from 30 June - 31 July 2020.
The Forum meeting provided challenging plenary lectures followed by ample time for roundtable discussions, Q&A with all session speakers, and stimulating interaction in order to bridge the knowledge gap between experts and the HIV-treating community globally. This forum meeting was a 2-day program that was live-streamed globally.
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.
The Global HIV Clinical Forum: Optimizing Treatment was initiated in 2016 by the Program Directors: Dr. Jonathan Schapiro and Dr. Charles Boucher. The aim of the forum meeting is to provide clinical education to the junior Healthcare Professionals by inviting international key experts to give their perspective on relevant clinical topics related to the management of PLWH.
