This year the conference opened with important news on oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), including the PROUD and IPERGAY studies, topical PrEP and other HIV prevention options &#8211; including research to reduce mother to child transmission. Other key sessions included HIV-related complications, antiretrovirals in the pipeline and HIV pathogenesis &#8211; especially in the context of cure research.<\/p>\n<p>Abstracts for each study are available in a searchable online database and some posters are available to download as PDF files.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.croiconference.org\/abstracts\/search-abstracts\">http:\/\/www.croiconference.org\/abstracts\/search-abstracts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All plenary lectures and oral presentations are online as webcasts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.croiwebcasts.org\">http:\/\/www.croiwebcasts.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Articles included in this issue of HTB are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/htb\/27932\">Pipeline ART: tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/htb\/27963\">Pipeline ART: maturation inhibitors and an attachment inhibitor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/htb\/27966\">No HIV transmissions between gay couples when viral load is undetectable: preliminary results from &#8220;Opposites Attract&#8221;
