AMSTERDAM -- The 2020 International AIDS Conference (IAC) in the Bay Area has already ignited a firestorm of controversy, with calls from U.S.-based advocacy groups to move the meeting to a different country entirely. But this isn't the first time there have been calls for a boycott of an AIDS meeting in the U.S.
In this exclusive 番茄社区 video, Paul Volberding, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, and past president of the International AIDS Society, recalls the fallout of the 1990 IAC meeting in San Francisco. Volberding's UCSF colleagues then weigh in on the pros and cons of holding the 2020 meeting in the Bay Area.
