Robertson Auditorium

The purpose of this meeting is to update the San Francisco Bay Area (HIV research) community on the opioid epidemic and the current state of the science, especially as it pertains to HIV. We envision a broad scope covering national epidemiology and trends, an overview of the drug market (heroin versus fentanyl, an overview of clinical interventions available, a panel discussions on innovative uses of buprenorphine and safe consumption spaces, current research and interventions happening at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and policy and social justice developments.
