2024 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE Description
The 2024 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) CLINICAL CONFERENCE was held in-person in Louisville, Kentucky, from Sunday, November 17, to Tuesday, November 19. The RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE provided state-of-the-art updates on research, care, and treatment issues in the medical management of HIV infection for experienced HIV clinical decision makers.
The 2024 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE was planned with and supported by the HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HRSA) and was sponsored and organized by the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA). This conference was coordinated through the RWHAP AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) clinician training network.
Participation of clinical decision makers from RWHAP-funded clinics and programs in this educational activity is an integral part of HRSA’s commitment to improving the care and enriching the lives of individuals with HIV.
Who Should Attend
Attendance is for HIV clinical decision makers, primarily physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)-funded clinics and programs (specifically those operating under part A, B, C, and D), who are responsible for direct patient care and the decisions on clinical care and practice carried out at their clinics.
This enduring activity is also open to physicians who are actively involved in the medical care of people with HIV infection and:
- Have a solid, working knowledge of HIV disease management

This activity is also relevant to nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, registered pharmacists, and other health professionals.
