Searches don\u2019t include the option to search abstract text. Various searches of what always looked like the whole programme returned 1, 4, 9, 11, 33 and 67 hits, all for the single generic drug name \u2018dolutegravir\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">With websites, simple is always best, especially as access to the internet is still limited and\/or expensive for many people globally. Simple graphics, simple navigation, a fast and comprehensive search engine and easy hyperlinks to the results. Unfortunately the conference website has none of these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Currently, searching the programme for presentations and abstracts doesn\u2019t then directly link to the webcast or PDF poster, which also makes it difficult to quickly share the conference material in reports from the meeting. Sharing a poster from the App will send an email with the title but again with no link to the actual presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since the conference ended, many talks, posters and abstracts have disappeared or have dead links. The organisers are working to fix this.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"HTBBODYtext\">Key URLs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Wishing you luck, the following URLs will open the world of AIDS 2020. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYtext\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This requires a login (until 27 July) to enter (including free login for Global Village).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYtext\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Not all content works with all web browsers.
