Canada Pavilion at AIDS 2022: resource hub and virtual sessions (pre-recorded videos)
The 24th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2022) will be held (in person and virtually) in Montreal, Canada, from July 29 to August 2, 2022. Each conference is an opportunity to strengthen policies and programs that ensure an evidence-based response to the HIV epidemic.
The Canadian Association for Global Health (CAGH) is coordinating the Canada Pavilion at AIDS 2022 – with the participation of people with lived experience, as well as individuals and organizations engaged in Canada’s HIV response. Under the theme of Solidarity. Science. Support., the Canada Pavilion will explore and highlight the strength, innovation, and committed community behind Canada’s HIV response. The Canada Pavilion will also be a place for individuals living with HIV to share personal stories and experiences. Through the Canada Pavilion, we seek opportunities to highlight community innovation, best practices, effective programs, achievements, experiences, stories, and challenges met and overcome in the Canadian response to HIV.
