The International HIV Treatment as Prevention® Workshop is an annual meeting that brings together academic, policy, industry, and community representatives to review and discuss research and policy progress in the field of HIV Treatment as Prevention®.

First held in 2011, the Treatment as Prevention® Workshop was hosted by the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, and co-hosted by the International AIDS Society, Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, World Health Organization, and National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The Treatment as Prevention® Workshop is a single track meeting with daily plenary, debates, oral abstract, and poster sessions. Each oral session has abundant time dedicated to open discussion, providing an opportunity for participants to share their experience to date, as well as protocols, preliminary findings, and future plans and needs.

Over the past number of years, the Division of AIDS at the University of British Columbia (DAIDS-UBC), the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE), and a number of international partners have coordinated the highly impactful series of International HIV Treatment as Prevention® Workshops, which have contributed to building consensus around the importance of scaling up this life-saving intervention to attain the 90-90-90 targets by 2020. Following discussions between DAIDS-UBC, BC-CfE, and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), a decision has been taken to transition the coordination of the Workshop to IAPAC.

We are pleased to confirm that the Workshop is now being hosted by IAPAC immediately preceding IAS 2017 in Paris. IAPAC will work with members of the Workshop’s Scientific Advisory Committee to design a robust, forward-leaning program that helps to continue our forward momentum toward attaining decisive, measureable targets.
