The first International Confere nce on Biopsychosocial Aspects of HIV Infection was held in Amsterdam in 1991. 
The second Conference took place in Brighton in 1994. 
In 1997 AIDS IMPACT was held in Melbourne, in 1999 in Ottawa and it returned to Brighton in 2001. 
The Focus of AIDS IMPACT is to create a network between biological, psychological and social aspects of HIV. 
The Conference will connect researchers, practitioners and users to share knowledge, resources, innovations and new ideas. 
AIDS IMPACT provides a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural forum to allow research to inform practice and deliver expertise to where it is needed most, as strategies and methods of treatment, intervention, prevention and care. 
The Conference is an excellent opportunity for people working and living with HIV disease, throughout the world to engage in dialogue and debate.
