Welcome
The annual INTEREST Conference is the premier scientific conference for HIV in Africa, and brought together scientists involved in HIV treatment, pathogenesis, and prevention research from around the world. The conference showcased cutting-edge knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and the prevention of HIV-1 acquisition. Additionally, it continued to foster building a community of African physicians and scientists to facilitate the implementation of local solutions for the management of people living with HIV and for the prevention of HIV transmission.
INTEREST is co-organised by Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) and Virology Education.
INTEREST 2022 took place in Kampala, Uganda, and the programme consisted of invited lectures, oral abstract presentations, a debate, skill-building sessions, panel discussions, and sponsored symposia.
