About this Program

The European HIV Clinical Forum 2023 took place on 7 June in Rome, Italy, as a hybrid event. 

The European HIV Clinical Forum 2023 provided an independent scientific program involving world-leading experts and was specifically designed for European HIV healthcare professionals. The program 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 also included networking opportunities for community-building, provided 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 HIV management, where they can 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.
