Background
- The 9th International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2017) will take place in Paris, France on 23-26 July 2017. This biennial gathering is the largest open scientific conference on HIV and AIDS related issues – bringing together a broad cross-section of more than 6,000 professionals from more than 120 countries.
- Strong science, bold activism: Paris, which hosted the International AIDS Conference in 1986 and the IAS Conference in 2003, has always epitomized robust science translated into courageous steps forward to solve the challenges that the HIV epidemic has presented throughout the last three decades.
- Pushing the basic research agenda: Organizers expect the presentation of major advancements in understanding the intricate viral and host interactions, in better characterizing and targeting the HIV reservoir, ways to tackle persistent HIV as well as the interaction and synergies with other fields such as cancer research and immune-based therapies.
- New frontiers in clinical research: At IAS 2017, we expect new data on novel therapeutic strategies, including long-lasting drugs, simplified regimens and strategies for targeting persistent HIV to achieve a remission or cure. New science will also be presented on preventive and therapeutic vaccinations and on improved tools and strategies for PrEP.
- How to reach the global goal of ending AIDS: The focus at IAS 2017 will be on new insights into ways to implement prevention, treatment, care and support services ever more effectively, without which it would be impossible to stop all new HIV infections and avert AIDS-related deaths.
