The World Health Organisation (WHO) is to run a series of online workshops around their updated guidelines for HIV treatment and service delivery. The broadcasts will run for two days: March 17th from 14:00 to 16:30 GMT and March 18th 10:00 to 12:30 GMT. Seminars will be accompanied by translation.
