20th Munich AIDS and Infectious Diseases Days

For four decades, the Munich AIDS and Infectious Diseases Days have been a central meeting point for experts from medicine and science. For the 20th anniversary, numerous experts came together in Berlin from March 27th to 29th, 2026 to celebrate this special event together. Participants discussed with experts from various disciplines and gained insights into current research results and therapeutic approaches in the area of HIV/AIDS and infectious diseases. Not only scientists took part in the congress, but also, as always, representatives of people living with HIV and representatives of AIDS aid organizations and gay communities or those of migrants, and unfortunately only few representatives of self-organizations of drug users. The congress offered numerous opportunities to expand your professional network and make new contacts.
