2nd African Workshop on Women & HIV 2025
Thank You!
The second edition of the African Workshop on Women & HIV successfully took place on 27 - 28 February 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.
This year we explored critical updates and new approaches to meet the ongoing challenges faced by women living with HIV in the African region. In spite of new roadblocks to research funding, the event was an inspiring success!
Thank you to all our attendees for making it an event to remember!
Next Edition
The 3rd African Workshop on Women & HIV 2026 will take place on 26 - 27 February 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa.
About This Program
This is a regional workshop paired to the annual “International Workshop on Women & HIV”. It is an outstanding opportunity for both local and international healthcare providers, researchers, government, industry, and community representatives to discuss and further increase their knowledge on the issues related to HIV and women living in Africa.
The primary purpose of this workshop is to support changes that will provide a better quality of life for women living with HIV and reduce HIV transmissions in the region.
The format of the workshop enables attendees to learn from renowned HIV experts, discuss challenges, gaps, and opportunities for further learning and research. It also provides a forum for early-career investigators to present their research and to personally meet with experts they view as mentors and inspiration for their work.
