HIV Prevention Evidence Academy
The last few years have been filled with exciting new developments in HIV prevention research and practice. As such, several organizations in the Triangle—including the NC Translational & Clinical Sciences (TraCS) Institute, FHI 360, the LinCS 2 Durham project, RTI International, and both the Duke and UNC Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR)—have combined efforts to host an HIV Prevention Evidence Academy to be held on Friday, February 17, 2012.
This one-day event will be held from 8:00am-5:00pm at RTI International, located in Research Triangle Park.
