AVAC’s Guide to HIVR4P 2024 in Lima

Dear Advocate, 

We are looking ahead to the biennial HIV Research for Prevention 2024 conference  in Lima, Peru next week, 6-10 October. HIVR4P is a space where biomedical HIV prevention research, policy and programs takes center stage. Whether you’ll be in Lima or are following from afar, AVAC will keep you connected!

Read on for information on AVAC sessions, a sortable roadmap, the Advocates’ Corner (open all week) and more!

Advocates' CornerIf you plan to be in Lima, be sure to join us and our CASPR partners at the Advocates' Corner to take the conversations and themes deeper. The Advocates' Corner will be open throughout the conference hosting a program of activities along with materials displays and opportunities for informal networking. Be sure to check the events page for updates on programming.
AVAC’s Coverage: From the latest news on injectable lenacapavir, to updates on the development of next generation prevention options, to the complex work of implementing the tools that exist today and all the advocacy needed to get it all done, our email dispatches to the Advocates’ Network keep you informed. Follow events in real time on Twitter at #AIDS2024 and Instagram.
People's Research Agenda: During HIVR4P, we’ll be releasing the new People's Research Agenda, a global initiative driven by communities and advocates to define the most urgent priorities, research questions and recommendations for HIV prevention research. We hope it serves as a guide to what is – and should be – discussed at HIVR4P and beyond.
