Overview
On May 20, 2023 the Forum took place in-person at the University of Manchester in Manchester, UK. The Forum was funded by a University of Manchester-University of Toronto partnership grant.
The Aims of the Forum were:
- To facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) in the field of HIV and rehabilitation research (ageing, tele-rehabilitation interventions), clinical practice and service delivery, among people living with HIV, researchers, clinicians on HIV, and representatives of community organizations internationally;
- To establish new research and clinical partnerships in HIV and ageing internationally;
- To foster mentorship and training in HIV and ageing research; and
- To identify new and emerging issues and research priorities in rehabilitation interventions for people ageing with HIV.
The Forum brought together 35 stakeholders, including people living with HIV, researchers, clinicians, educators and representatives from community organizations across Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland to exchange research evidence and knowledge related to HIV, ageing and rehabilitation.
