Conference Archives:
Continuum 2025 was the 20th annual conference sponsored by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) in joint providership with Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Montefiore Medical Center, under a “Reframing HIV Care” conference theme reflecting a need to frame HIV care in the context of primary care settings. Held June 10-12, 2025 (and pre-ceded with a pre-conference session on June 9, 2025), the conference aimed to advance the optimization of HIV care continua with the further aim of achieving global, national, and municipal goals and targets.
Across six tracks, the conference covered a wide range of topics, including strategies to improve antiretroviral therapy and pre-exposure prophylaxis outcomes; implementation science principles to deliver high-impact, scalable HIV interventions; how community engagement in HIV prevention and care enhances service delivery; the impact of key social determinants of health on HIV responses and outcomes; and integrating primary care, person-centered care, and quality of life considerations to optimize HIV outcomes.
