Overview
Welcome

We made history together!

We would like to thank all 116 participants of the 10th edition of the International Workshop on HIV & Women (6 - 7 March 2020, Boston, MA, USA) for their invaluable contribution in making this meeting such a success. The knowledge and life experiences shared in this workshop were incredibly valuable and will be cherished and put into good use.

We pride ourselves on being the only CROI-affiliated event that went ahead. Although the COVID-19 outbreak prevented some of our participants and presenters from attending in person, it made us think out of the box. In almost every session we had one or more speakers presenting remotely, and almost 20 participants were able to join us from home or their place of work.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would also like to express our gratitude to ViiV Healthcare, Gilead and Janssen for their generous support.

We look forward to seeing you at the next edition of the meeting
