AIDS Clinical Conference

The AIDS Clinical Conference series is typically held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 8am-9am in the Research and Training building at Harborview Medical Center.

The Harborview Medical Center AIDS Clinical Conference is one of the longest running clinical HIV conferences in the United States. Drs Joan Kriess and Ann Collier established the conference in the mid-1980s shortly after HIV was identified and the scope of the epidemic was not yet in focus. Over the last 20 years literally hundreds of speakers from around the country and the world have delivered lectures on a wide variety of HIV topics from prevention and vaccine research to antiretroviral therapy, drug resistance and the adverse effects of HIV treatment.

The conference is extremely popular among regional HIV providers, University of Washington faculty, housestaff and students and local public health officials and typically hosts between 50 and 100 attendees. The conference is sponsored by the Harborview Madison Clinic (the largest provider of HIV care in the Northwest) and the University of Washington Center for AIDS Research and the Northwest AIDS Education and Training Center.

The objectives of the HMC ACC are to:

• Educate regional HIV providers, students and investigators on the latest therapies and research findings reported in the literature and presented at scientific meetings;
• Provide a venue where regional HIV providers and the HIV research community can congregate to discuss newly recognized trends in HIV disease and treatment;
• Provide a forum for local HIV providers and researchers to interact with international colleagues with the goal of fostering collaborative HIV research and training projects.
