XV International AIDS Conference Bangkok
July 11-16, 2004
Website: http://www.ias.se/aids2004/
Over the years the AIDS epidemic and its associated scientific, social and political needs have changed dramatically. The major purpose of the early international conferences was to share research and medical findings about a relatively new disease. Hence, the early emphasis was on clinical and biomedical aspects.
More recently, as our understanding of the basic science and natural history of HIV infection has steadily increased, more attention has been devoted to creating opportunities for sharing our understanding in more social and community-related areas, including local and national experiences in response to the epidemic.
The International AIDS Society in collaboration with the Thai Ministry of Public Health, UNAIDS, and the international community, cordially invites you to join us for an extraordinary gathering to advance another milestone in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Announcing the XV International AIDS Conference Bangkok, July 11-16, 2004. Marching forward into the battle to win the war for humankind.
