Overview

Welcome

This workshop is a much-needed initiative to gather cross-disciplinary experts in a workshop setting to discuss the medical, clinical, and social challenges faced by transgender people at risk for and living with HIV. Through didactic lectures and the sharing of best practices based on real-life experiences, we aim to create a scientific platform to discuss opportunities and challenges in the provision of health care for transgender people.

The meeting aims to reduce the knowledge gap by stimulating the cross-disciplinary exchange of information and improving the quality of life for transgender people at risk for and living with HIV.
