9th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence

The 9th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence was jointly sponsored by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) and the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). The conference was co-chaired by K. Rivet Amico, PhD (University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA) and Michael J. Mugavero, MD, MHSc (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA).

The conference provided a forum where the state-of-the-science for HIV treatment and biomedical prevention adherence research was presented, discussed, and translated into evidence-based approaches. The 2.5-day program allowed healthcare and human service professionals to examine scientifically sound and practical strategies to enhance adherence to HIV treatment and biomedical prevention interventions in a variety of domestic and international settings.

Following are conference presentations. The conference organizers request that any use of these presentations should include citations to both their presenting authors and relevant conference information (e.g., 9th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence, June 8-10, 2014, Miami).
