Welcome

The Goiânia HIV Clinical Forum 2021 provided an independent scientific program involving the world’s leading experts. Specifically designed for Brazilian HIV healthcare professionals, it focused on optimizing treatment for their patients. 

This program featured challenging plenary lectures followed by ample time for Q&A and debate, stimulating interaction and knowledge-sharing 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 leading experts. During these meetings, HIV clinicians and allied healthcare professionals will receive updates on the latest developments related to HIV management. Attendees can also share their clinical experience and present 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.
