CROI will deliver ‘evidence and perspective’ amid turmoil
[Editor’s note: Healio will be providing live coverage of the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, which runs from March 9-12 in San Francisco. Please check out our CROI resource center for news from this year’s conference.]
Well! We’ve come a long way since CROI 2020 — for many of us, the first all-virtual conference, organized a just days following the first reports of what would become the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, CROI is fully back as an in-person, post-pandemic experience. The presentations and discussion, as always, promise a wealth of new insight from the leading investigators presenting their latest results to over 3,500 attendees in San Francisco.
At a time of substantial social and scientific turmoil, CROI promises a platform of evidence and perspective to help guide our research, patient care and advocacy. HIV will remain the central focus of CROI, but the many other viruses in our lives these days will not be ignored.
San Francisco, as with so many other cities, has yet to recover fully from the pandemic but will, as ever, prove to be a great host! Our restaurants, parks and museums look forward to CROI, and the presentations at the conference will — as always — be truly important and current.
