PRE-CONFERENCE PRESENTATION

FHI 360, along with USAID and PEPFAR, will host a pre-conference session on June 12: Differentiated Models of Care across the HIV Continuum: Insights and Innovations. In this presentation, thought leaders and technical experts will address new service delivery models for HIV prevention, care and treatment that are adapted to the specific needs of particular subgroups of patients. The presentation promises to generate many new ideas for patient care.
