Improving oral health for people affected by AIDS

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research focuses on enhancing oral health outcomes for individuals impacted by HIV/AIDS, particularly among at-risk populations such as men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, and adolescents. It aims to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, and early career faculty to share knowledge and strategies related to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. The workshop will address current trends, identify research gaps, and promote equitable access to care, especially in communities facing stigma and discrimination. Participants will engage in discussions about the latest findings and translational approaches in the field of oral health and AIDS.
