Overview

Four courses on Optimal HIV Management, were succesfully organized in Botswana, Namibia, Kenya and South Africa. The courses allowed HIV-treating clinicians and other experts involved in the treatment of HIV to increase their understanding on how to best manage patients with HIV in their practice. The one-day course offered an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss HIV topics with peers and local and international experts.

Support
This course has been made possible through an unrestricted grant from GSK / ViiV Healthcare
