IAS 2025, the 13th IAS Conference on HIV Science

↪ Click here to view our IAS roadmap

The 13th annual conference of the International AIDS Society (IAS) will be from July 13 – 17 in Kigali, Rwanda. IAS 2025 comes at a defining moment. Scientific advances in prevention, treatment and potential avenues for a cure, are within reach, but global funding cuts are placing these innovations and their scientific discovery at risk. All this is jeopardizing the gains that communities, advocates, and researchers have fought for decades to achieve.

See AVAC’s resources tracking the impacts and consequences of actions to dismantle foreign aid.

New research on the HIV prevention pipeline is expected to be shared alongside evidence on how the dismantling of foreign aid and the retreat from the US’ commitments to science and global health are impacting lives and livelihoods. Every aspect of the HIV response is under attack—from basic research and clinical development to policy, programs, and global access to life-saving treatment and prevention. 

See AVAC’s new report, which lays out what’s needed at this critical time to get HIV prevention into the hands of those that need it most and join us Monday, July 14 for a satellite session, Re-imagining prevention: Ensuring sustainable PrEP access in an evolving funding context.

More details are below in our IAS 2025 roadmap and sessions of interest guide.
