About CROI

CROI is an annual scientific meeting that brings together leading researchers and clinical investigators from around the world to present and discuss 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 as well as updates on the progress of many important ongoing studies that eventually resulted in new therapies or interventions for the prevention and treatment of HIV and other infectious diseases.

Among the studies that will be presented are many that have been conducted by or supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Department of Veterans Affairs as well as a number of PEPFAR-related studies.
