From 8 November 2020 to 11 November 2020

AFRAVIH 2020

Dakar

Note: Due to the global Coronavirus epidemic context, the AFRAVIH conference is postponed from 8 to 11 November, online.

The 10th International Francophone Conference on HIV, Hepatitis and Sexual Health organised by AFRAVIH will be held online, from 8 to 11 November 2020. The conference once again brings together all the French-speaking actors involved in the fight against HIV and viral hepatitis.

The place of HIV and its comorbidities, including tuberculosis, and hepatitis, as well as their links with efficient health systems and global health approaches will be at the heart of our exchanges. The strategic and operational vision of AFRAVIH 2020 will be that of strengthened mobilization for fairer and more effective health policies (more info on www.afravih2020.org).

The Solthis teams will be present to present the results of our projects and participate in the numerous exchanges that will take place throughout the conference.
