COURSE ORGANIZATION AND SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP

Alongside a community of experts, we look forward to welcoming you to Romania in March 2027 for a new edition of the HIV Advanced Training Forum, an event dedicated to medical education and the exchange of expertise in HIV and infectious diseases.

Established as a landmark forum for specialists, the event will bring together key opinion leaders involved in the management of people living with HIV. The program will focus on the most current topics, challenges, and perspectives in the field.

We will continue our signature format, built on expertise, interactivity, and real-world application, featuring presentations, debates, and discussions grounded in clinical experience, complex case studies, and the latest scientific data.

With every edition, our goal is for the HIV Advanced Training Forum to remain a space where the medical community gathers to share experiences, discuss new directions in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV infection, and, above all, translate the latest scientific findings into relevant solutions for everyday medical practice.

We look forward to seeing you in Bucharest in March 2027!
