Your Front-Row Seat to the International AIDS Conference

For the first time in 22 years, the United States will host the International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., from July 22-27.

As many as 25,000 people from around the globe will converge on the nation's capital to discuss whether it might now be possible to start imagining "a beginning of the end of the HIV epidemic" -- and what needs to happen scientifically, socially and politically to make that happen.
