The goal of the Inter-CFAR Women and HIV Symposium is to identify gaps in knowledge in HIV and women’s research and develop strategies that will move the field forward. In order to accomplish this goal, we aim to generate collaborative activity between CFARs and other research networks, highlighting cutting-edge science and promoting opportunities for early career investigators.
SCOPTIONS meetings are an opportunity for junior investigators doing basic/translational HIV research (mostly using samples from people with HIV enrolled in the SCOPE/Options cohorts) to present their work and get feedback from a diverse audience of HIV investigators across UCSF (and some friends from ~ around the Bay!). We like lots of discussion :) Feel free to bring early data, grant Aims, ideas for collaborations, etc - the meetings are meant for open discussion, and the expectation is that data will not be shared outside of the meeting presentations.

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.
