The 27th Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research is the premier gathering in Canada for those working in all disciplines of HIV/AIDS research, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic.
The conference, also known as CAHR 2018, was held in Vancouver this year with the theme of “Celebrating our Diversity: Uniting in the Response to HIV”.
BC-CfE researchers had a large representation at the conference and we are sharing here PDFs of the posters presented.
