The 10th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence was jointly provided by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) and the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). The conference was co-chaired by K. Rivet Amico, PhD (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and Michael J. Mugavero, MD, MHSc (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA).
As the Co-Chairs indicated in their Welcome Letter to conference delegates:
“This conference marks a decade of coming together from around the world to share, support, and sustain scientific advances towards fully leveraging available behavioral and biomedical treatments to promote health and well-being of people affected by and those living with HIV.”
The conference provided a forum where the state-of-the-science for HIV treatment and biomedical prevention adherence research was presented, discussed, and translated into evidence-based approaches. The conference also allowed healthcare and human service professionals to examine scientifically sound and practical strategies to enhance adherence to HIV treatment and biomedical prevention interventions in a variety of domestic and international settings.
Following are conference presentations. The conference organizers request that any use of these presentations should include citations to both their presenting authors and relevant conference information (e.g., 10th International Conference on HIV Treatment and Prevention Adherence, June 28-30, 2015, Miami).
The conference was made possible through institutional support from IAPAC and the Humanitas Foundation; commercial support from AbbVie, Gilead Sciences, and Merck & Co.; and corporate sponsorship from ViiV Healthcare.
