Clinical scientists, social scientists and policy makers will use this forum to collaborate on gender-specific differences in the biology, epidemiology, prevention and treatment of HIV infection, as well as co-morbidities. The conference will also cover the advocacy of evidence-based AIDS related public policy that will translate laboratory and clinical research into practice and public policies to improve clinical outcomes of women affected or infected with HIV.
