About the Conference

The 16th Annual American Conference for the Treatment of HIV (ACTHIV) is the premier conference in the US dedicated exclusively to members of the frontline team who care for individuals living with HIV or who are at risk of acquiring HIV. The conference delivers information to learners on new developments and research findings that can be rapidly translated and directly applied to the clinical setting.

ACTHIV is targeted toward the members of the frontline team caring for persons with or at risk of acquiring HIV: physicians (both specialists and primary care/family medicine), advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and medical case managers.

Other members of the care team, including psychologists, mental health and substance abuse workers, treatment advocates, treatment educators, and researchers, are also encouraged to attend.
