CONFERENCE: Fourth Southern African AIDS Conference

31 MARCH-3 APRIL 2009 DURBAN (South Africa)

Organizer: Southern African AIDS Conference (SAAIDS)
Event date: 31 March- 3 April 2009



Overview

Previously known as the South African AIDS (SAAIDS) conference, in 2009 the conference organisers decided to extend the reach of the conference to include the Southern African region. According to the organisers, the theme this year, "Scaling up for Success," recognises that there is an urgency to take stock of best practices in treatment and prevention and to scale these up sufficiently to begin to decrease the numbers and the impact that the epidemic is having on Southern Africa.

The conference includes a number of different tracks, which include:

  • Basic Sciences
  • Clinical Sciences
  • Epidemiology, Prevention and Public Health
  • Social and Economical Sciences, Human Rights, and Ethics
  • Best Practices and Programmes
  • Community Exchange Encounters
