Abstract

The 9th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2017) took place at the Palais des Congrès, in Paris, France, from 23 to 26 July 2017, chaired by Linda-Gail Bekker and Jean-François Delfraissy. It was organised by the International AIDS Society (IAS) in partnership with ANRS (the French national agency for research on AIDS and viral hepatitis), bringing together more than 6000 leading scientists, researchers and HIV professionals from around the world. The Conference featured more than 1800 abstracts selected for oral and poster presentations out of over 4300 submissions, in addition to plenary sessions and satellite symposia. Prevention was high on the agenda of this year's Conference. Data relevant to children, adolescents and adults with HIV on recent advances in the understanding of viral–host interactions, targeting of the HIV reservoir, new oral and long-acting antiretroviral drugs, strategies for simplification of treatment regimens, immune-based therapies, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to HIV, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines, as well as comorbidities including hepatitis, were presented with an emphasis on translating science into practice and policies.
