As you may know, the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), widely considered to be the most important HIV scientific meeting of the year, took place February 23-26, 2015 in Seattle, WA. Each year, scientists, providers, researchers, advocates and people living with HIV come together to hear the latest research into HIV prevention and treatment, to learn about advances and failures and to understand what lies ahead. This year, two representatives of The Well Project, Maria Mejia and Kate Borloglou, attended CROI for the first time as they worked to further expand their treatment knowledge and advocacy skills, attending scientific sessions, networking with providers and other advocates, and absorbing the latest news in HIV. They have described their experiences in blogs that you can read by clicking here and here. In addition, Julie "JD" Davids, from TheBody.com, will share other highlights from CROI 2015 that may be of interest to our community of people living with HIV, and their allies. We also invite you to read our Update from CROI 2015, written by our Managing Editor, Jennifer Johnsen, MD, MPH with key data summaries across the diseases states presented at CROI.
In an effort to share their experiences attending CROI with a wider audience, as well as to disseminate some key community takeaways from this scientific conference, we are excited to present this webinar to you! Following the presentations, there will be a question and answer period with participants.
