12th International Workshop on HIV & Women, virtuell

The 12th International Workshop on HIV & Women will take place from 6-8 April 2022 as a virtual meeting.

The International Workshop on HIV & Women has now completed its 11th year and continues to evolve. It is an outstanding opportunity for health care providers, researchers, government, industry, and community representatives to discuss, debate, and further their knowledge on the issues related to HIV and women. 

The format of the workshop enables attendees to learn from experts in the field of HIV and related health, and then discuss the issues, gaps, and opportunities for further learning and research. Many of the attendees continue to participate each year and have formed valuable relationships and partnerships that have led to collaborative projects.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the participants are palpable throughout the workshop. The debates and round tables are an important vehicle to discuss the issues and challenge dogmas. Over the years, the number and quality of submitted abstracts have continued to improve. The workshop also provides a forum for new investigators to present their work and to personally meet with experts they view as mentors and inspiration for their work. The workshop considers both local and global issues and the information learned in one setting is often translated to another.

We encourage you to consider joining us this year. 

We look forward to seeing you at this unique workshop in April!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, 

Sharon Walmsley, C.M. MD, FRCPC

Europaweite Befragung zu HIV-bezogener Stigmatisierung und Diskriminierung

 Auch heute sind immer noch viele Menschen, die mit einer HIV-Infektion leben, von Stigmatisierung und Diskriminierung betroffen.

Wie die Situation europaweit aussieht, soll nun eine europaweite Befragung von Menschen mit HIV erfassen. Die Erhebung ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von AIDS Action Europe, dem European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control - ECDC und derEuropean AIDS Treatment Group. Die Ergebnisse sollen dazu dienen, die Situation von Menschen mit HIV in den unterschiedlichsten Regionen Europas zu verstehen und daraus konkrete Forderungen zu entwickeln, um die Situation von Menschen mit HIV bis 2030 nachhaltig zu verbessern.

Die Teilnahme an der Online-Umfrage ist anonym, vertraulich und in über 25 Sprachen möglich. Hier der Link zum Fragebogen: https://ec.europa.eu/eusu.../runner/CommunityStigmaSurvey
