5th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention
19-22 JULY 2009 CAPE TOWN
As the fifth conference in this series, IAS 2009 will continue its strong emphasis on basic, clinical and biomedical prevention science. However, for the first time, the scientific programme also will include a fourth track on Operations Research. This newest feature underscores one of the defining characteristics of the IAS conference: to examine how scientific advances increase knowledge and are instrumental, through very practical ways, to reach populations which need new and improved methods to prevent, treat, and effectively confront the epidemic.
