News from CROI 2026 coming soon

The 33rd Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2026) is taking place in Denver, US, from 22 to 25 February.

CROI is an annual scientific conference and was established to “provide a forum for basic scientists and clinical investigators to present, discuss, and critique their investigations into the epidemiology and biology of human retroviruses and associated diseases”.

CROI 2026 will feature research and discussions on:

• new insights into the HIV reservoir and the potential for an HIV cure
• new drugs which may work for months at a time
• the impact of funding cuts across the globe.

The CROI 2026 preliminary programme is available online, where you can find details of the conference’s plenary sessions, interactive symposia, oral abstracts, posters and workshops.
