We’re delighted that there are currently 16 pre-conference sessions and 33 conference sessions included on this calendar, highlighting a significant increase of trans- and gender-diverse-relevant sessions during the AIDS 2022 Conference and Pre-Conferences.

If we have missed a session that you think should be included on this calendar, i.e., the speakers are trans or gender diverse, or trans and gender diverse issues are addressed within the session, please contact comms@gate.ngo, and we will add the session to the calendar.

Please note: This calendar does not include sessions that are taking place in the trans networking zone TRANSport Hub in the Global Village. Find details of TRANSport Hub sessions.
