International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2022) is one of the largest HIV conferences in the world. It provides a platform for physicians, researchers, development workers and all stakeholders in the HIV response to discuss and share learning about the setbacks and progress recorded in the HIV Continuum of care.

As a development worker and researcher working and researching at the intersection of HIV and disability, it is humbling to:

  1. Have my abstract accepted for presentation. My abstract is entitled

  2. Be awarded a Scholarship by the IAS – International AIDS Society to support my participation at the conference.
  3. Be selected for the AIDS 2022 Educational tours funded by IAS where I will visit 3 organisations in Montreal Canada to learn about the important work they are doing in the space of HIV
AAP’S Delegate batch for AIDS 2022

As a Doctoral researcher, an acceptance of my abstract at the world’s largest gathering of HIV and AIDS has given me the boost to keep learning and growing in this field. Through AIDS 2022, my research will be available and accessible to over 10,000 delegates around the world. What a great way to disseminate some of my findings.

I look forward to learning and also sharing my research findings with other stakeholders. If you are in Montreal, feel free to connect.

Abstract acceptance

My appreciation also goes to my University QUT (Queensland University of Technology) for funding my research under the Queensland University of Technology Postgraduate Research Awards (QUTPRA).

I will be sharing more updates about my engagements in Montreal, Canada.
