Description

The annual conference of the International AIDS Society (IAS) is widely attended by researchers from around the world but is often hard to travel to, especially for busy clinicians. This year we will have two presentations by international thought leaders covering different aspects of the clinical track that are most useful to our audience of HIV primary care providers.
