2023 Conference Partners
About ISSTDR
The International Society for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research exists to promote research on sexually transmitted diseases and facilitate the timely exchange of information among research investigators. To these ends, ISSTDR sponsors a biennial, interdisciplinary scientific meeting, at venues that historically have alternated between Europe and North America. During the three decades since the Society was founded, the ISSTDR meetings have been the premier scientific conferences that address the entire breadth of research on STD, including HIV infections and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and encompassing microbiology, virology, immunobiology, pathogenesis, and other basic sciences; clinical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, epidemiology, and prevention; and research in health services, public health, and prevention policy.
ISSTDR was founded in 1977 and is governed by an international Board of Directors who currently represent 7 countries. The ISSTDR Conference Support Foundation provides support in respect of the conferences of the ISSTDR.Goes Here
About IUSTI
The International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) is the oldest international organisation in the field. It was founded in 1923, so we will be celebrating its centenary at the Chicago meeting. Its objective is to advance international cooperation in the control of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV infection. This includes the medical, social, and epidemiological, aspects of the control of sexually transmitted infections.
IUSTI is on the Roster of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, and is an Official Non-Government Organisation in Consultative Status with the World Health Organisation. It has a central Executive Committee which includes elected representatives from its five regions of Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America. Membership of IUSTI is open to individuals around the world who have a professional interest in the control of sexually transmitted infections.
IUSTI organises conferences within its different regions and runs teaching courses. It also publishes STI management guidelines. IUSTI is delighted to be an organising partner with ISSTDR, ASTDA and ASHA for the STI & HIV 2023 World Congress in Chicago.
