CNS live-streamed the TB HIV Symposium organized before the 10th IAS Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2019) opened in Mexico, on our Facebook page. This symposium was organized by Stop TB Partnership, International AIDS Society (IAS), and partners, on the theme: "A new era in TB prevention: Implications for people living with HIV". Sessions covered basic and translational research and implementation at the intersection of TB and HIV, and focused on TB prevention.We are sharing links to recording of all the sessions:
