HIV.gov will be sharing live updates on the latest HIV research being presented at the 30^th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), which is taking place in Seattle and virtually between February 19 and 22, 2023. Ahead of the conference, we asked Carl Dieffenbach, PhD, Director of the Division of AIDS at NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to share his thoughts on why this conference is important for researchers and the larger HIV community:

CROI is an annual scientific meeting that brings together leading researchers and clinical investigators from around the world to present, discuss, and critique the latest studies that can help accelerate global progress in the response to HIV and AIDS and other infectious diseases, including viral hepatitis, COVID-19, and mpox. In past years, CROI has facilitated the presentation of important discoveries and updates on the progress of many important studies that eventually resulted in new therapies or interventions for HIV prevention and treatment. This will be the first in-person CROI since 2019.
