Introduction<\/h2>\n

The Research for Prevention (R4P) conferences are held every two years to focus on vaccines, PrEP, microbicides, treatment as prevention and other biomedical prevention approaches.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year the meeting was held in Madrid and attended by 1400 delegates.<\/p>\n

The programme balanced a strong emphasis on basic science (vaccine-related studies, mAbs, pipeline PrEP) with a similar emphasis on practical issues of prevention research (who are accessing PrEP, including in different populations and including when people decide to start and stop).<\/p>\n

With 138 oral abstracts and >600 posters, there were numerous other topics in between \u2013 although fewer clinical efficacy studies than previous years.<\/p>\n

Comprehensive webcasts of the presentations from both plenary lectures and oral abstract sessions are now online, with a searchable abstract database and poster available in PDF format. Satellite sessions are also webcast.<\/p>\n
