HIVR4P Symposia

We're thrilled that you can join us for three special virtual symposia in October 2023 that will bring together the scientific community to address the biggest challenges in biomedical prevention.

IAS Governing Council and HIVR4P 2024 Organizing Committee members will host this series in which leading experts will share the latest research in HIV prevention and explore what to expect at HIVR4P 2024, the 5th HIV Research for Prevention Conference. The series will look at how to scale up CAB-LA and the vaginal ring, where things stand in the quest for an HIV vaccine, and what the future holds for bNAbs

Don't miss out on any of these virtual discussions. Find full details below and mark your calendars now.

And don't forget to join our mailing list to stay up to date with everything IAS related, including when registration opens for HIVR4P, the only global scientific conference focused exclusively on the challenging and fast-growing field of HIV prevention research.
