Missed our highlights of some of the latest research presented at the International AIDS Society’s 2023 Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2023)? Here’s a roundup of key topics covered in our video conversations from the conference so you can catch up and share them with your friends and colleagues.

To learn about:

• How a statin drug reduces the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease among people with HIV, watch this conversation between NIH’s Carl Dieffenbach, and Miss Molly Moon, MSW, of the NIH-supported Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination, about the headline-making results from the NIH-supported REPRIEVE trial.

   

  
  Learn more about REPRIEVE study findings that a daily cholesterol-lowering medication can potentially prevent one in five major cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack or stroke) among people with HIV in this conversation between Molly and Steven Grinspoon, MD, who led the REPRIEVE study.

  
  Read the NIH news release about the REPRIEVE study for more details. 

• Long-acting HIV prevention and treatment options, check out Carl Dieffenbach’s interview on implementing the newest tools in our toolbox and information on where research on long-acting technologies is heading.
• Research on broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) for HIV prevention, treatment, and cure, and an HIV vaccine, check out this conversation with Carl and Louis Shackelford from the NIH-supported HIV Vaccine Trials Network.

And for interviews on the following topics:

• Mpox research.
• Engaging communities in research and its implementation.
• Research on post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
• Signature programs of NIH’s Office of AIDS Research (OAR).
• The importance of engaging the transgender community in HIV researchExit Disclaimer.
• New World Health Organization (WHO) guidance on HIV viral suppression and HIV transmission risk.
