Each year's symposium is organized around a translational aspect of HIV research targeted by our Center (basic, clinical and population studies). The format typically combines presentations from senior scientists at leading research institutes in the United States and abroad with a select number of UCSF postdoctoral researchers or clinicians working in complementary areas of research. The symposium was not held during the Covid pandemic.

2005 CFAR Scientific Symposium: Emerging Concepts in Antiretroviral Therapy
This two-day symposium examined antiretroviral therapy (ART) from the research clinician's perspective, including novel applications of ART in patient settings, new data on early infection and transmission of resistance, and chemokine receptor biology in the context of patient therapy. The symposium also sought to foster and facilitate novel, multidisciplinary research collaborations between basic science investigators and clinicians.

2007 CFAR Scientific Symposium: The Next Generation of HIV Research
This two-day symposium focused on current and planned research being conducted by the next generation of HIV investigators with the University of California, San Francisco, the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology, the Blood Systems Research Institute, SF Department of Public Health (HIV Research Section), and other partner institutes. Research presentations spanned basic, clinical, epidemiologic, prevention, and translational science.

2013 CFAR Scientific Symposium: Implementation Sciences and the Global Response to HIV/AIDS
For the first time in the global response to HIV/AIDS, consensus is emerging that turning the tide against the global pandemic is possible. Treatment of HIV infection has evolved from toxic, complex and relatively brittle to well tolerated, simple and potent. HIV-infection persons, especially if treated early in the course of disease, can expect normal lifespans.
