The International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) is a major international AIDS conference which takes place in Africa. Its current biennial hosting alternates between Anglophone and Francophone African countries. The 2015 ICASA will be held in Zimbabwe.
The convening of the International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA 2015) in Rainbow Towers Hotel & Conference Centre, Zimbabwe, in November to December 2015 represents a tremendous opportunity to highlight the diverse nature of the African region’s HIV epidemic and the unique response to it. Gathering in Rainbow Towers Hotel & Conference Centre, we will work together to strengthen our efforts across all regions and around the world, building on the momentum of recent scientific advances and the momentum from ICASA 2013. The biennial International AIDS Conference is the premier gathering for those working in the field of HIV, as well as leaders, people living with HIV and others committed to ending the epidemic. It will be a tremendous opportunity for researchers from around the world to share the latest scientific advances in the field, learn from one another’s expertise, and develop strategies for advancing all facets of our collective efforts to treat and prevent HIV.
