6th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence

Antiretroviral therapy can inhibit viral replication and reduce viral load to a point where viral particles are undetectable in the blood of infected individuals. Significant and sustained suppression of HIV replication is associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, these benefits are only tenable when adherence to precise dosing schedules is rigorous and other requirements are closely followed. Partial or poor adherence can lead to the resumption of rapid viral replication, poorer survival rates, and virus mutation to treatment-resistant strains of HIV. Similarly, adherence to antiretroviral-based prevention interventions will be critical to achieving the promise that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and other biomedical interventions hold to dramatically curb HIV transmission rates among at-risk populations.

Hosted by the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the 6th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence is providing a forum where the state-of-the-science for HIV treatment and biomedical prevention adherence research will be presented, discussed, and translated into evidence-based approaches. The 2.5-day program will allow 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.
