Conference 2018

CAHR would like to thank the nearly 780 individuals that attended CAHR 2018 in Vancouver. 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. “Celebrating our Diversity: Uniting in the Response to HIV” was this year's theme.

The conference was April 26th-29th, 2018 in Vancouver, British Columbia. CAHR would like to thank once again Conference co-chairs Dr. Hélène Côté (University of British Columbia) and Dr. Melanie Murray (University of British Columbia) -- and the entire Scientific Planning Committee – for making CAHR 2018 such a success.
