About the Organization

The IAS unites the global HIV response because progress happens when science, policy and activism come together.

We convene leading minds to accelerate scientific discovery. We advocate for evidence-based and stigma-free policies. We educate change makers to ensure the global HIV response follows the science and puts people first.

We do this by hosting the world's most significant HIV conferences and through our programmes.
