19th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence (Continuum 2024)

19th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence (Continuum 2024) is organized by International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) and will be held from Jun 09 - 11, 2024 at El Conquistador Resort, Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Description:
For the past 18 years, IAPAC has proudly served as the secretariat for the annual series of International Conferences on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence, otherwise known as Adherence. Over the past few years, and as our understanding of gaps across the HIV care continuum has been refined, the conference has undergone an evolution with an expanded scope reflecting a more holistic approach to addressing gaps across the entire HIV care continuum. This evolution led us to redefine the conference for its 19th iteration, including a name change to “Continuum 2024.”

The new name embodies our commitment to encompass the entire journey of people affected by HIV, from the critical initial step of testing, through linkage to care, active engagement in prevention and treatment services, adherence to prevention and treatment regimens, and re-engagement for those who are lost to follow-up. By choosing “Continuum” as our conference title, we aim to emphasize the importance of viewing HIV care as a journey where every step along the way holds immense significance, while continuing to highlight innovations to optimize HIV treatment and prevention adherence.

Continuum 2024 aims to continue the conference tradition of serving as a platform that unites providers, researchers, policymakers, and advocates to share insights, best practices, and innovative approaches that contribute to an optimized continuum of HIV care. Through this collective effort, we aspire to drive positive change and ultimately progress towards a world where HIV care is seamlessly accessible, efficient, and inclusive, ensuring a better quality of life for all affected communities.

Educational Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
• Employ strategies to improve antiretroviral therapy and pre-exposure prophylaxis outcomes
• Utilize implementation science to identify high impact and scalable HIV interventions
• Facilitate community engagement in clinical care to support optimal HIV service delivery
• Address social determinants of health to enhance HIV responses and outcomes

Through These Focus Areas the Conference Aims To:
• Focus on strategies and interventions to enhance the entire HIV care continuum
• Explore advances, strategies, and best practices in delivering combination HIV prevention
• Address real-world integration of evidence-based practices through implementation science
• Propose strategies to translate research findings into scalable interventions for impact
• Highlight community-led approaches and initiatives to shape effective HIV responses
• Discuss interventions, policies, and strategies to address social determinants of health
