CROI 2017 Community-Wide Update Held Wednesday, April 5

In conjunction with the Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the DC CFAR Community Advisory Board hosted a community-wide update at Whitman Walker Health in which CFAR investigators gave overviews to community members on recent developments in research presented at the 2017 CROI conference. This year's agenda included:

• Public Health, Partnerships, and Prevention: Implications from CROI  - Travis Gayles, MD, PhD, CMO, HASTA, DC Department of Health
• New HIV Treatment Data from CROI 2017 - David Hardy, MD, Senior Director of Evidence-based Practices, Whitman Walker Health
• Women's Health Update: CROI 2017 - Katherine Michel, PhD, Georgetown University
• An Update on Cure - John Huang, PhD Candidate, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine, The George Washington University

The purpose of the event is to sustain efforts that began in 2009 to gather community members interested in HIV science and provide an opportunity for them to learn about and discuss the latest developments in HIV care, treatment, and prevention with local care providers, scientists and experts. The presentations will be made available on the CFAR website shortly.
