Following seamlessly, from September 13 to 14, 2024, the 34th dagnä workshop took place. This training event is specifically aimed at HIV specialists and outpatient infectious disease physicians and provides a platform for intensive exchange on new developments in infectious diseases. This year, the focus was particularly on innovative treatment approaches and current research findings.
