www.iustibucharest2020.com

Organising a conference is always a demanding task. Doing this at the time of a global pandemic it is a near impossible challenge.

The 34th IUSTI-Europe Congress will be VIRTUAL! We hope that you will continue to participate in this unique medical event dedicated to Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV/SIDA. Organizing a virtual event is a first for IUSTI-Europe and we would like to turn the odds and make this an advantage: using the power of internet, the Congress will be easily accessible, affordable and will connect speakers and participants from all around the world! A distinguished group of researchers and practitioners will share their knowledge and expert opinions with you. They will present the latest information directly from the source. It will be different, but we will do our utmost to make it worthwhile.As the Congress is approaching, we kindly remind you to register using the link:
