#INTEREST2026

FHI 360 looks forward to joining colleagues in Dar es Salaam at the INTEREST Conference, the premier scientific conference for HIV in Africa that brings together scientists involved in HIV treatment, pathogenesis, and prevention research from around the world.

At INTEREST, our team will contribute — through presentations and engagement across scientific sessions — to discussions on HIV diagnosis, prevention and treatment. The conference provides a critical platform for sharing evidence, exchanging ideas, and strengthening collaboration among African and global researchers working to advance locally driven solutions for people living with and affected by HIV.
