About CROI | ||
The Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) is an annual conference which aims to provide a forum for researchers to translate their laboratory and clinical findings into tangible progress against the HIV pandemic.

A virtual conference | ||
On Friday 6 March, less than 48 hours before the conference was due to start, the organisers reluctantly decided that the conference should be held virtually. "Many countries, agencies, and institutions have now banned travel, and many infectious disease physicians are urgently needed to care for patients with COVID-19 in their own institutions," they announced. "Because of increasing concerns that travel to a large group gathering like CROI is not advisable from a personal and public health perspective, the CROI leadership has come to the difficult decision that the 2020 CROI meeting will be virtual." Researchers are pre-recording their presentations from their universities, which are then webcast to registered delegates. In this evolving and challenging situation, NAM will endeavour to bring you the most complete coverage of the conference as possible. | ||
