The fourth edition of the African Workshop on Women & HIV will take place on 25 – 26 February 2027 in Lusaka, Zambia. It is an opportunity for both local and international healthcare providers, researchers, government, industry, and community representatives to discuss and further increase their knowledge on the issues related to HIV and women living in Africa. This year’s program will explore how language shapes stigma, the role of communities and the engagement of men in empowering women, and the intersection of digital spaces and adolescent mental health.
The format of the workshop enables attendees to learn from renowned HIV experts, participate in interactive skills-building sessions, and discuss challenges, gaps, and opportunities for further learning and research. It also provides a forum for early-career investigators to present their research and to personally meet with experts they view as mentors and inspiration for their work.
