GENERAL INFORMATION
The International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), in collaboration with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le Sida (ANRS), and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), will host a fifth annual summit aimed at leveraging antiretrovirals to end AIDS-related mortality and prevent new HIV infections.

Controlling the HIV Epidemic with Antiretrovirals: Leveraging Progress, Seizing Opportunities will take place 13-14 October 2016 at the International Conference Centre (CICG), Geneva, Switzerland. This year’s summit will place the need to scale-up HIV treatment and prevention within the context of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. The summit will serve as a forum for the presentation of data related to and discussion about the fast-tracked scale up of HIV treatment and prevention. The summit will also allow clinicians, researchers, public health policy-makers, government officials, donor agency managers, civil society representatives, and other stakeholders to explore ways of generating demand for and increasing access to and utilization of HIV testing, prevention, care, and treatment services, including breaking down structural and other barriers within affected communities.

PROGRAM
The summit will be co-chaired by Kenneth H. Mayer, MD (Harvard University/Fenway Institute, USA) and Paula Munderi, MD (Medical Research Council, Entebbe, Uganda). The Honorary Co-Chair is Julio SG Montaner, MD (British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Vancouver, BC, Canada).

The summit’s program committee was given a mandate to promote action-oriented dialogue to continue building upon the momentum from the 2015 summit (click here to access last year’s program, slide sets, and/or archived webcasts). This year’s summit program features plenary addresses and panel discussions across six thematic areas: 1) Controlling the HIV Epidemic, 2) Optimizing the HIV Care Continuum, 3) HIV Treatment for All, 4) Optimizing the HIV Prevention Continuum, 5) PrEP Implementation Science, and 6) Leaving No One Behind.
