Early registration is now open for the 4th HIV Research for Prevention Conference (HIVR4P 2020) in Cape Town, South Africa, on 11-15 October. Join over 1,500 prevention researchers, advocates, implementers, funders and policy makers who will gather in Cape Town to explore every aspect of the biomedical prevention paradigm.

The IAS is committed to convening HIVR4P 2020 in a way and at a time that best safeguards the health and wellbeing of all. We are carefully monitoring WHO guidance, and the South Africa Government COVID-19 regulations and guidelines and will not hesitate to adapt the meeting format and/or timeframes to protect HIVR4P 2020 participants if needed.

We are acutely aware that there is not yet sufficient data on the impact of COVID-19 for people living with HIV. We are also conscious that many of those working in HIV research and programmes are currently stretched providing essential support to their communities. The IAS is obliged to reduce potential risks to these groups as much as possible.

Stay tuned here for updates from conference organizers related to COVID-19.

Abstracts may be submitted through your conference profile until 23 April 2020, 23:59 CEST.

HIVR4P fosters interdisciplinary knowledge-exchange on HIV vaccines, microbicides, PrEP, treatment as prevention and biomedical interventions as well as their related social and behavioural implications.

The great strength of HIVR4P is the participation of researchers, policy makers, implementers and advocates working across the spectrum of biomedical interventions and scientific disciplines informing state-of-the-art HIV prevention from pre-clinical research through to implementation.

Join the movement for HIV prevention. Support HIVR4P 2020 to be held on 11-15 October 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa.
