About AIDSImpact
AIDSImpact is an international behavioural and biopsychosocial science conference that addresses issues related to HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment and care, focusing both globally and on specific communities and countries hardest hit by the HIV and AIDS epidemic.
AIDSImpact first convened in Amsterdam in 1991.
Each AIDSImpact meeting attracts delegates new to the field as well as a core group of loyal psychosocial and behavioural researchers, care providers, health care workers. prevention workers, community members and policy makers from universities, health services, community providers and institutes across all five continents who use the biannual meeting to present their studies, interventions and prevention schemes.
AIDSImpact has evolved as one of the leading platforms for understanding, updating and debating the behavioural, psychosocial and community facets of HIV in light of changing social conditions and medical advances. In fact, a review of past AIDSImpact scientific programs reveals the evolution of the psychosocial and behavioural response to the HIV epidemic over the past 25 years.
