Latin American AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (LAACC)
General
What's New
Welcome
The annual Latin American AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (LAACC) brings together scientists involved in HIV treatment, pathogenesis, and prevention research. This unique regional platform strives to address local and regional issues for the benefit of the Latin American medical community - from HIV healthcare professionals and scientists to community representatives and people living with or being at risk of HIV.
Researchers will have the opportunity to present and discuss the latest developments and are offered opportunities for interaction, networking, and building collaborations. Top experts integrate science and clinical practice through state-of-the-art lectures, clinical case discussions, roundtable discussions, and debates to reach a consensus on best practices and inform how treatment and prevention guidelines are implemented in the region. The conference gives early-career investigators a platform to present their data and to communicate with colleagues and key opinion leaders in the field. The program will feature plenary sessions, symposia, oral abstract presentations, poster tours, poster viewing sessions, exhibition, and skill-building sessions - providing a unique opportunity to meet colleagues in a regionally focused, scientific setting.
