Introduction

The 25th Annual BHIVA Conference was held this year in Bournemouth and included an impressive programme that covered the diversity of the UK healthcare response to HIV.

There were 486 delegates registered for the conference and this number included 12 BHIVA Scholarship winners and 40 Community Registration places.

Webcasts are already online for all talks from the main programme, including abstract presentations.

This year it is also really helpful that most posters are also available to download as PDF files.
