16th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence

16th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence is organized by International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) and will be held from Nov 07 - 09, 2021 at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

The Adherence 2021 theme is New Targets, New Opportunities.

Target Audience:
The target audience for the Adherence 2021 conference includes physicians, nurses and nurse-practitioners, pharmacists, psychologists, behavioral scientists, social scientists, public health specialists, epidemiologists, social workers, case managers, peer educators and navigators, and community health workers working in the field of HIV medicine. The conference may also be of interest to individuals who wish to implement and advocate for effective, evidence informed HIV policies and interventions in their respective communities and countries.

Description:
Annually by IAPAC, this series of conferences features the presentation and discussion of HIV treatment and biomedical prevention adherence research, and current behavioral and clinical perspectives in practicum, within the context of optimizing the continuum of HIV care and prevention. 

The conference will focus on state-of-the-science evidence, best practices, and the practical, real-world implementation of behavioral, clinical, structural, and other interventions to maximize the therapeutic and preventative effects of antiretroviral agents. The conference will also provide a forum for discussion and presentation of implementation science focused on closing evidence-to-practice gaps across the HIV prevention and care continua, as well as community engagement in planning, implementing, and monitoring HIV responses in their communities.

The Adherence 2021 conference will feature a five-track program:
• Treatment Adherence
• Community Engagement
• Biomedical Prevention
• Continuum of Care
• Implementation Science

Learning Objectives:

• Employ interventions to enhance linkage to and engagement and retention in HIV care
• Apply strategies to optimize antiretroviral therapy and pre-exposure prophylaxis adherence
• Develop strategies to manage syndemic conditions and disorders associated with HIV
