The annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) brings together top basic, translational, and clinical researchers from around the world to share the latest studies, important developments, and best research methods in the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases. CROI is a global model of collaborative science and the premier international venue for bridging basic and clinical investigation to clinical practice in the field of HIV and related viruses.
CROI 2018 will be held from March 4 to March 7, 2018, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Please note that CROI 2018 will be held from Sunday to Wednesday. Webcasts, abstracts, electronic posters, and other electronic resources from CROI 2018 will be available online after the conference.
