Formerly known as the International AIDS Conference (IAC), the first AIDS event took place in Atlanta in 1985 and was organised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organisation (WHO), and Emory University. More than 2000 scientists, activists and public health officials came together to share information on HIV and AIDS as an emerging epidemic. Now organised by the International AIDS Society (IAS), the AIDS 2024 conference is expected to host over 15,000 scientists, healthcare professionals and people living with and affected by HIV to share the latest data and lessons learnt from the HIV response over the past 40 years.

The 25th InternatIonal AIDS Conference

Join us at AIDS 2024, the 25th International AIDS Conference (IAS), happening in Munich, Germany from 22-26 July.

The dynamic and vibrant atmosphere in the village is always a highlight of the conference and we look forward to seeing you all there.

SHOWCASING OUR INNOVATIVE PORTFOLIO AND PIPELINE AT AIDS 2024

Our ultimate goal is simple; to end the HIV epidemic. Until then, we will continue to explore new ways of treating and preventing HIV in order to achieve our mission of leaving no person living with HIV behind.

Abstracts from our innovative pipeline and portfolio will emphasise our commitment to meeting the evolving wants and needs of the HIV community, including new data and findings for our existing HIV therapies, as well as the next generation, including 2-drug and long-acting regimens.

Highlights will include head-to-head data assessing treatment efficacy, safety and weight gain of oral regimens. Additionally, findings will be presented from therapies currently in our pipeline including first-time-in-human data for a third-generation INSTI, with data on potential ultra long-acting applications. These will be just some of the initial findings from our highly innovative pipeline, as we continue our work to evaluate these medicines in clinical trials involving a diverse group of people living with HIV. In addition, we also continue to generate and present clinical trial findings and real-world evidence from across our portfolio of our marketed long-acting medicines, assessing our long-acting HIV prevention regimen for safety in pregnant women, and our long-acting treatment regimens for safety, efficacy and patient perspectives.

Hear from the scientists in our Branford labs. 

We know that people living with HIV and those who can benefit from PrEP want more options and that’s why we’re exploring new ways of treating and preventing HIV through new approaches in how we target the virus as well as the process of how medicines are administered.

PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY

We’re proud of our enduring commitment to the HIV community, whether it be through our 30+ year Positive Action Programme or through our digital campaigns, collaborating as partners, advocates, and champions to address the issues that matter most.

At AIDS 2024, we’ll be using our platform to amplify the voices of the HIV community, ensuring that their voices are heard, shining a spotlight on the communities that are disproportionately impacted by HIV.

  • HIV Science as Art Exhibition

    Organised by Münchner Aidshilfe, the first regional AIDS aid organisation in Germany. We’re proud to be the exclusive supporters of HIV Science as Art, a groundbreaking exhibition merging the talents of 12 artists living with HIV with 12 scientists across the globe. Together, they produce 12 original artworks, spotlighting both the advancements in HIV science and the human dimension of living with the virus. The artwork will be displayed in The Brainlab Tower from 22 July. The artwork will be auctioned, and the money raised will go to fund projects supporting the HIV community in Eastern Europe.

  • ViiV Sponsored Symposium

    At 12:00 on 23 July, AIDS 2024 delegates can join our Patient Engagement team in an unconventional symposium, How do we genuinely change the dynamics and put ‘People First’? where we will highlight the importance of people-partnered care in HIV.
