A terrific session is planned for this year’s joint HIV/AIDS and Sexual Health Conference on the Sunshine Coast. On Tuesday 30th August, a cross-track session will explore the current context, new developments and community experience of HIV cure research. The session will include contributions from diverse panellists from the community, basic science and clinical research, with an overview from Professor Sharon Lewin. If you’ll be at the conference, make sure to mark this one in your diary. If not, we will provide a recap of the session here after the conference.
