Overview

The Global HIV Clinical Forum was held on 16 July, 2016 in Durban (SA), preceding the 21st International AIDS Conference.

The meeting was an incredible success with almost 200 unique attendees visiting the meeting.

The Global HIV Clinical Forum focused entirely on Integrase Inhibitors as Integrase Inhibitors are rapidly gaining a central role in the routine care of HIV infected individuals. The HIV Clinical Forum meetings aim at enhancing the clinical skills and research capabilities of HIV healthcare professionals in regard to this unique class of antiretroviral drugs.

On behalf of the Global HIV Clinical Forum meeting chairs, we would like to thank our sponsors, our endorsers and of course all of our participants in making this meeting into a huge success!
