The conference will begin with a free community event that will be open to the public on the eveniing of June 17. We invite anyone interested in HIV and community based research to join us for this opening celebration.
The two-day Moving Mountains (June 18-19) conference (registration required) will bring together community-based organizations, people living with HIV/AIDS, academic researchers, public health representatives, and other stakeholders to explore how knowledge can be moved to action in HIV/AIDS research.
