ICYMI: HIV Research Round-Up from CROI 2018

March 28, 2018 – HIV.gov

Earlier this month, we partnered with Federal colleagues from NIH, CDC, and HRSA to share highlights of and perspectives on HIV research coming out of the 2018 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI). This included six Facebook Live videos that have reached more than 20,000 viewers as well as coverage here on the blog with three posts featuring those videos as well as several cross-posts of CDC and NIH announcements about research they supported that made news at the conference.
