Introduction
Continuing with the conversation we left off from last year and upkeeping with the constant changing societal needs, trends and resolutions, AIDS Concern is hosting our Annual AIDS Concern Conference 2025 with the theme “Accelerating HIV Response with Social Medicine”. This event aims to foster dialogue within the community, share insights with delegates from around the world, and to raise awareness to the social impacts of HIV prevention and responses in all sectors medically, economically and geographically with the highlights on practical societal approaches. The conference will be held at Eaton Hotel on the 13th and the 14th of March, 2025. Delegates, scholars, researchers and experts from all around the world will gather this spring in Hong Kong with the same vision, accelerating HIV responses in areas that concern you and I.
Your participation would not only help shape the future of HIV responses, but will also help move forward how we, as part of the society, face all upcoming challenges. We will step into the unknown with confidence and leap to a better future hand in hand.
Date: 13-14 March 2025
Location: Room Maggie, Eaton Hotel. 380 Nathan Road, Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
