HIV Updates

The HIV Update covers the latest clinical findings and research that relate to the management of HIV-positive individuals. The HIV Updates take place twice per year (usually Spring and Fall) and are day-long. Registration is open and free of charge but would be of interest to health care providers and researchers. The presentations are also streamed live on the day of the event. The HIV Updates are accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the BC Chapter for up to 6.5 Mainpro-M1 credits.
