Historically, women have been insufficiently included and involved in HIV research. While this has improved in recent years, there is still a need for increased representation of women across the lifespan in all aspects of research from prevention through cure – including biomedical, behavioral and social research, and the effects of HIV on our bodies as we age.
On our final session of WATCH! 2.0, we break down clinical trials, take a look at where women have been in research and where we must go, and explore some of the advocacy tools needed to get there.
Moderator: Olivia G. Ford, Editorial Director
Presenters: Danielle Campbell, MPH, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science; iSTRIVE Lab, University of California, San Diego and Connie L. Johnson, MA, Growing Into Greatness
