Later this month, NAM will be reporting from two international HIV conferences – HIV Research for Prevention (HIVR4P) and the International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection (HIV Glasgow).
HIVR4P
HIVR4P is being held in Chicago, USA from 17-21 October.
The conference is dedicated to biomedical HIV prevention research, including vaccines, microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and treatment as prevention.
We will be reporting on key research presented at the conference, publishing news online at www.aidsmap.com/HIVR4P-2016 and sending out one conference bulletin (in English) the week following the conference. You can sign up here to receive the bulletin. (If you already subscribe to one of our regular news bulletins, you will automatically receive this conference bulletin.)
