Overview
About this Program

The São Paulo HIV Clinical Forum 2024 was held on 29 August 2024 in São Paulo, Brazil, as part of the 14° Congresso Paulista de Infectologia.

This forum provided an independent scientific program involving the world’s leading experts and is specifically designed for Brazilian HIV healthcare professionals, focusing on optimizing treatment for their patients. The meeting aims to increase knowledge and skills through lectures on novel treatment strategies, long-acting regiments, and the care of treatment-experienced patients.

This program featured challenging plenary lectures followed by Q&A and debates, stimulating interactions, and the sharing of knowledge within the community of HIV care providers. The program included networking opportunities for community building, providing delegates with the unique opportunity to meet their colleagues in a focused and scientific setting.

The HIV Clinical Forum is a series of interactive programs that provide independent scientific sessions led by experts on emerging topics in the HIV care field. HIV clinicians and allied healthcare professionals receive updates on the latest developments related to comprehensive HIV management, share their clinical experience, and present the results from their ongoing and completed cohorts/research programs.

Furthermore, the HIV Clinical Forum provides an educational setting where healthcare professionals can acquire specific skills that enhance their capabilities to interpret research results and develop new research projects.
