Over the years, enormous progress has been made in the fight against HIV and co-infections. Both academia and industry have contributed greatly to equipping the medical community with the best medications and expertise possible to optimally treat people living with HIV. However, international platforms for scientific interchange are not always accessible to medical professionals worldwide due to budget and travel restrictions. Also, most major conferences do not usually address local and regional issues. In particular, the Asian medical community in this field of research currently has very few platforms that serve the needs of HIV healthcare professionals in this region.

The Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC) provides a much-needed scientific platform that focuses on the developments, issues, and needs in the Asia-Pacific region. Researchers have the opportunity to present and discuss the latest developments and are offered opportunities for interaction, networking, and building collaborations. Top experts integrate science and clinical practice through state-of-the-art lectures, clinical case discussions, round table discussions, and debates in order to reach a consensus on best practices and inform how treatment guidelines are implemented.

This course will provide advanced practical training in the principles of vaccine confidence, including measuring and monitoring vaccine hesitancy, responding to and addressing issues of vaccine confidence and rebuilding trust. As a participant, you will also sharpen your skills in crisis communication and trust-building. The course is mainly designed for public health postgraduate students and professionals worldwide.
