\"\"Simon Collins, HIV i-Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, the IAS policy for breaking headline news at the AIDS 2018 conference should come with a warning for any early reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of allowing researchers to first present their results in full, with the chance for peer-review questions, the conference organisers lifted the embargo on studies that are included in the press conferences at the start of the press meeting.<\/p>\n

Often these studies were not even presented on the same day and the embargo was lifted before the presenters have said anything,<\/p>\n

This is not a good way to report research: either the press conference should come after the results have been presented in full, or the embargo should remain in place until then.<\/p>\n

Unlike other scientific meetings, the AIDS2018 press conferences do not allow summary slides, with presenters only having a couple of minutes to summarise their research.<\/p>\n

Although i-Base reported some of these press-released studies, each report wasupdated later after the full presentations. Some of the reports were made through early press access to the presentation slides.<\/p>\n

The press conferences schedule\u00a0is available online and ress conferences are also live-streamed on youtube, with archive webcasts provided later. [1, 2]<\/p>\n
