Event Website

HIV R4P is the only global scientific conference focused exclusively on the challenging and fast-growing field of HIV prevention research. This conference fosters interdisciplinary knowledge exchange on HIV vaccines, microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), treatment as prevention and biomedical interventions, as well as their social and behavioral implications.

 

Council researchers will present our latest research related to the dapivirine vaginal ring, multipurpose prevention technologies, and other HIV prevention technologies.

 

We are excited to announce that Jeremy Nuttall will present at the HIVR4P Scientific Highlights press conference on 7 October at 10:00 am on his team’s late breaker abstract, “Pharmacokinetic superiority of a 3-month dapivirine vaginal ring (100 mg) compared to the 1-month dapivirine vaginal ring (25 mg).”
