Although this large North American conference always includes a separate section in the programme on HIV, this is a conference that we are rarely able to attend.
A summary of highlights from ICAAC 2014 is included in this issue thanks to coverage on natap.org of about 60 studies. This includes hyperlinks to both longer articles and slides from oral presentations that are not otherwise available on the conference website.

The final programme is available in PDF format from the ICAAC website.

Abstracts are available using the search facility in the online programme planner, but links to individual abstracts involve long URLs that for some previous conferences are not maintained permanently.
