Welcome
The annual INTEREST Conference is the premier scientific conference for HIV in Africa and brings together scientists involved in HIV treatment, pathogenesis, and prevention research from around the world. The conference will showcase cutting-edge knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and the prevention of the HIV-1 infection. Additionally, it will continue to foster building a community of African physicians and scientists to facilitate the implementation of local solutions for the management of patients living with HIV-1 infection and for the prevention of HIV transmission.
We would like to thank all of the 592 participants of the 12th INTEREST Conference (29 May - 1 June 2018, Kigali, Rwanda) for their invaluable contribution in making this meeting such a success. We would also like to dedicate our gratitude to our sponsors, ViiV/GSK, Johnson & Johnson, Gilead, AbbVie, Roche, Mylan, NIH/Fogarty, Joep Lange Institute, IAS, ANRS and BD, for their generous support that made this event possible.
INTEREST is co-organised by Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) and Virology Education.
