Overview

The 14th International Workshop on HIV Transmission was held on 12-13 December 2019 in Rockville, MD, USA.

Meeting Objectives

The main objective of this meeting is to provide a forum for basic scientists, clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists and public health officials to present and discuss the various aspects of the transmission of HIV.
The ultimate goal of the meeting is the integration of efforts from all relevant disciplines in order to constrain the spread of (drug-resistant) HIV.
