The International AIDS 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 and lessons learnt, and collectively chart a course forward.
The AIDS 2017 conference will be held at the Palais des Congrès, 2 Place de la Porte Maillot, Paris from 23 to 26 July 2017.
