CROI, sponsored by the International Antiviral Society-USA, provides top researchers from around the world the opportunity to share their latest clinical findings and best research methods for HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases. About 4,000 scientists, researchers, clinicians and students attend the conference each year, with nearly half traveling from countries outside the United States, according to the organizers. Some of the research that will be presented this year focuses on novel prevention tools, treatment options and diagnostic methods for HIV.
