Overview

On June 16, 2018 the Canada International HIV Rehabilitation Research Collaborative (CIHRRC) and Realize hosted the 4th International Forum on HIV and Rehabilitation Research & Intersectoral Policy Dialogue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Forum was supported by a Meeting, Planning and Dissemination Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Aging Institute.
The Objectives of the Forum were

1. 1. to facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) on HIV and rehabilitation research, clinical practice and service delivery, among people living with HIV, researchers, clinicians on HIV, representatives of community organizations, and policymakers internationally
   2. to establish new research and clinical partnerships in HIV and aging internationally
   3. to foster mentorship and training in HIV and aging research

The Forum brought together 77 stakeholders, including researchers, community leaders, clinicians, students and people living with HIV from Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland and Australia to exchange research evidence related to HIV, aging and rehabilitation.
