This is likely to include further updates on long-acting lenacapavir (for for treatment and PrEP), islatravir as trestment and long-acting bNAbs (10-1074LS, 3BNC117-LS and N6-LS).<\/span><\/li>\n<li>New studies will be presented on injectable ART.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">Detailed results from the MOSAICO HIV vaccine study, that was discontinued in January 2023 due to lack of efficacy and implications for future vaccine research.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">PrEP \u2013 both oral and injectable \u2013\u00a0will include a focus on equitable access and distribution. Several studies are likely to report on using long-acting injections as PrEP.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">SARS-2 is likely to still feature in the programme, often in related to HIV, both over virology and epidemiology, and also to cover long-COVID.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">Mpox is also likely to feature even though the 2022 outbreak is now largely resolved, including how to limit future outbreaks.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">Advances in cure-related research including basic science approaches to the viral reservoir.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">Specialist sessions on women&#8217;s health, pregnancy and paediatric care.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">Adherence in the era of modern ART.<\/li>\n<li class=\"HTBBODYindent\">The Scott M.
