GENERAL INFORMATION
The International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), in partnership the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), Public Health England (PHE), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), recently hosted theControlling the HIV Epidemic with Antiretrovirals: Avoiding the Cost of Inaction summit, which took place 18-19 September 2014, at the Royal Garden Hotel in London.
The summit featured data related to and discussion about the implementation of combination prevention, including treatment as prevention (TasP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and provided a forum for exploring HIV care and prevention continua optimization to achieve antiretroviral therapy's maximum therapeutic and preventative effects.
PROGRAM
The summit was co-chaired by Kenneth H. Mayer, MD (Harvard University/Fenway Institute, USA) and Julio S.G. Montaner, MD (British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Canada).
This year’s summit program built upon the significant momentum gained from the 2012 and 2013 summits. The 2012 summit allowed IAPAC to generate a Consensus Statement released at the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC, USA. And, last year’s summit is the subject of a 1 July 2014, IAPAC-sponsored supplement to Clinical Infectious Diseases. Featured in the supplement is an editorial (available as an Open Access manuscript) that served as the foundation for the 2014 summit program.
