Become a Member

Membership in CAHR is open to all who are involved in or interested in HIV research in Canada. CAHR Members consist of Canadian (or permanent resident) academic researchers, students, fellows & trainees, and community-based researchers. All others, including NGO and government agency representatives, employees of pharmaceutical companies and HIV community members are considered to be Associates. Associates receive mailings and enjoy all the benefits of membership, but may not vote at the annual general meeting.

About CAHR

With a membership of more than 1,000 researchers and others interested in HIV research, the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) is the leading organization of HIV/AIDS researchers in Canada. CAHR is the organizing body for the Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research (CAHR Conference).

CAHR encourages Canadian researchers to be leaders in knowledge translation and to effectively respond both to the Canadian and global HIV/AIDS epidemics. Since its founding in 1991, CAHR has promoted excellence in HIV research, including mentorship and career development of investigators entering the field.

CAHR fosters collaboration and co-operation among HIV research communities, including basic, clinical and social sciences, epidemiology and public health. CAHR also engages people living with HIV/AIDS and AIDS service organizations in ongoing dialogue and information exchange to ensure that HIV/AIDS research remains responsive to the epidemic and its stakeholders.

CAHR is a registered charity.
