The 21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016) will be held July 18 through 22, in Durban, South Africa. The International AIDS Society Conference is the premier gathering for those working in the field of HIV, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic. It is a chance to assess where we are, evaluate recent scientific developments, lessons learned, and collectively chart a course forward. AIDS 2016 is expected to convene over 18,000 delegates from around the world. This year’s conference will be particularly momentous; because it is the first International AIDS Society Conference held in Africa since 2000, and because of the recent launch of the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommending Treatment for All infected with HIV.
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) will be in attendance to share and learn at this event. EGPAF has been awarded the honor of three oral abstract-driven presentations and 17 poster presentations (please see below, and feel free to click on the title of each to read our full abstracts). We will be hosting four satellite sessions at AIDS 2016, all of which will focus on closing in on virtual elimination of HIV: from tackling the disease in adolescents to realizing full-scale implementation of the 2015 WHO treatment guidelines (please see below information on when and where these will be held). We will be presenting at several other partner-led satellite sessions. Please visit us at any and all of these presentations and events. We welcome you also to stop by our booth in the exhibition center, to learn more about our work in our 19 countries.
