We continue our reports from the 21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016) that was held from 18-22 July 2016 in the coastal town of Durban in South Africa.
The AIDS 2016 programme is online as a searchable database.
http://programme.aids2016.org/Abstract/Index
Oral abstracts (but so far not the full abstract book) are available as a PDF supplement to the Journal of the IAS.

Although the search is good at finding abstracts, further links to webcasts, slides and poster PDFs only appear to be accessible through the online conference programme.
This requires searching for and then viewing the conference session where the study is presented (whether as an oral abstract, plenary talk or other type of presentation). Once the session window is opened, a column to the right of the presentation title shows links to the abstract, plus slides and webcasts if available. Webcasts can either be viewed in the session window or as separate links on YouTube.
