MISSION
HIV COVID Talks Presents HIV Then & Now: COVID & Community Response. This event is dedicated to Dr. James Gita Hakim, who gave his life in service to his patients. The purpose is to open a dialogue about HIV/AIDS and COVID. We will compare the current situation with COVID and discuss the future of HIV/AIDS research. We will be exploring questions around the HIV/AIDS Community’s role in the COVID response and How the response to COVID and AIDS compare, i.e. is history repeating itself?
