Introduction
“Accelerating HIV Response with Social Medicine” brings together international and local academics, healthcare professionals, and community and business leaders to exchange ideas and inspire action so that we can meet the UNAIDS target of ending HIV by 2030.
This year, we will focus on exploring social, economic and structural determinants that affect sexual health and HIV care. By bringing in the perspective of social medicine, we hope all community members can join hands to rejuvenate and empower innovative sexual health promotion and care. The target audiences are HIV/AIDS & sexual healthcare professional, social workers, counsellors, psychologists, LGBTQ+ community groups, business leaders (DEI, ESG) and university researchers.
