European Meeting on HIV & Hepatitis 2024
What's New
Welcome
It is our pleasure to confirm that the 22nd Edition of the European Meeting on HIV & Hepatitis will take place as a hybrid meeting on 22-24 May 2024 at Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza in Barcelona, Spain.
Founded more than twenty years ago as the European HIV Resistance Workshop, the European Meeting on HIV & Hepatitis - Treatment Strategies & Antiviral Drug Resistance has evolved to embrace all aspects of the clinical care of people living with HIV in Europe. This workshop places emphasis in particular on optimal treatment strategies, clinical virology, molecular epidemiology, and public health aspects of HIV, HBV, HCV, as well as emerging viruses throughout Europe.
In the last decade, the meeting has been able to capture leading clinicians and researchers from different regions of Europe. As such, this meeting is the only European platform where HIV-treating physicians and clinical virologists get together on an annual basis to present their latest research results and discuss their clinical implications in detail.
