AIDS Conference - December 2013

17th International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA 2013)
The ICASA conference contributes towards overcoming the HIV and Tuberculosis:
These are the epidemics that grip Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the most affected region with over 22 Million people living with HIV and AIDS and the highest tuberculosis rates world-wide.
ICASA represents a massive opportunity for all role players from basic science researchers, clinical researchers to the drug regulatory authorities and human ethics committees to review the current state of infectious diseases research in Africa.

There is a focus that an increased effort is required to maintain the international leadership for a reduction in HIV incidence targeting zero new infections, and a reduction of HIV and AIDS related mortality and morbidity.
