23rd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2020): second reports

28 August 2020. Related: Conference reports, Conference index, World AIDS 23 Virtual 2020.

6 – 10 July 2020, virtual meeting (was San Francisco and Santa Barbara).

The conference website is now available as an open access resource that no longer needs registration details.

Abstracts are now online, although the portal is still not always easy to navigate.

Many presentations are also online, but many also have withheld permission for these to be posted online. Perhaps these should not have been accepted for a virtual conference.
