The 8th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence was jointly sponsored by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). The conference was co-chaired by José M. Zuniga, PhD, MPH (International Association of Providers of AIDS Care, Washington, DC, USA) and Christopher M. Gordon, PhD (National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, 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., 8th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence, June 2-4, 2013, Miami).
