Women and HIV in Canada
The 18th Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research was held in Vancouver, BC in April of 2009. The conference provided an opportunity for researchers, students, politicians and other stakeholders with a focus on HIV to come together to present new research findings, to exchange knowledge, and to network with other people who are working in the field of HIV/AIDS in Canada.
The theme of CAHR 2009 was “Facing the Evolving Epidemic” and featured presentations on several key priority areas, including Prevention and Women’s Issues.
