AIDS 2026 key takeaways
AIDS 2026 key takeaways
We came together for AIDS 2026 against a tumultuous funding and geopolitical backdrop, which has utterly changed the global response to HIV. At the same time, scientific discoveries are bringing us the most powerful tools yet to end the pandemic as a threat to public health and individual well-being. For six days, delegates from across the response examined every aspect of this paradox and more. We did so through more than 150 sessions, 2,400 posters, 220 Global Village activities, countless conversations, and new networks and partnerships that we will take home as we continue to Rethink. Rebuild. Rise. (IAS – International AIDS Society, Genf, 01.08.2026)
