SD CFAR/THI Seminar Series
Current HIV research is prolific and constantly evolving. To help close the research-practice gap between HIV research and clinical care, the San Diego CFAR and UC San Diego HIV Institute (THI) produce a Seminar Series. These essential forums help translate laboratory and public health research into practical guidelines that improve the HIV care continuum. Please visit the Seminar Series webpage to learn more and register for upcoming seminars.
