Next week, HIV researchers from around the globe will be gathered at the 10th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science — known as IAS 2019 — in Mexico City, Mexico. HIV.gov will be sharing updates on the latest HIV research from the conference, in partnership with our federal colleagues from NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Starting Monday, July 22, we’ll be sharing Facebook Live interviews as well as posts here on the blog.

Biomedical and scientific research advances have led to the development of many successful HIV treatment regimens, prevention strategies, and have improved care for persons living with HIV. These advances are key to Ending the Epidemic: A Plan for America, the once-in-a-generation opportunity to end the epidemic.

The biennial IAS Conference on HIV Science is the largest open scientific conference on HIV and is expected to bring together more than 6,000 participants from more than 160 countries. This conference presents the latest critical advances in basic, clinical, and operational research that moves science into policy and practice. Findings from research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are among the more than 1,000 abstracts that will be presented.
