8th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015), 19-22 July 2015, Vancouver, Canada

This issue of HTB includes our final reports from the 8th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015) that was held from 19-22 July 2015.

This large biennial meeting has a greater focus on clinical and scientific research than the broader social-based programme of the International AIDS Conference with which it alternates every two years.

The programme for the conference is now posted to the IAS 2015 website as PDF files and the Programme-at-a-Glance (PAG) is also online.

As with previous IAS conferences, nearly all oral presentations are available as webcasts, including most plenary lectures, special symposia, oral abstract sessions and the opening and closing ceremonies. Many of the PowerPoint slides from talks and PDF files of posters are also online.

Unfortunately, URL hyperlinks to individual abstract and webcasts are not longer available with the current PAG, which is likely to limit access to this otherwise important aspect of the conference.
