In late February, Los Angeles was host to the 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI). APLA was the official host of a live webcast on CROI at the Bonaventure Hotel on Wednesday, February 28. APLA’s lead treatment educator, Brian Risley, conducted interviews with clinicians and national treatment activists for insertion into a live broadcast on Dish Network, as well as a follow-up DVD to be distributed internationally.
Additionally, Brian and APLA Ambassador Council member Lee Klosinski co-authored an analysis of the conference for IN Los Angeles. Reaction to the conference from Board member Eric Daar, M.D., was featured in summary coverage from the Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report.
