The ARV Therapies and Therapeutic Strategies program is a comprehensive, independent review of the 9th IAS Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2017). This program consists of five components: (1) IAS 2017 Expert Review: a 1.5 hour Internet symposium that features an overview and discussion of key presentations and posters, selected by the expert faculty discussants; (2) European Perspective on IAS 2017**: a 1.5 hour Case-based Internet symposium featuring Europe based expert faculty reviewing and discussing key presentations with a focus on clinical management and treatment in the EU; (3) Comprehensive Expert Review and Discussion of Key Presentations: an on-line, in-depth review of 8 of the key poster/presentations reviewed in the Internet symposium (4) Rapid-Fire Review of IAS 2017: a podcast that provides a brief, audio summary of the most essential data presented at the conference; and (5) From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data From IAS 2017: case-based dinner meetings during which the key data are reviewed, discussed and applied to patient care.
The Comprehensive Expert Review and Discussion of Key Presentations part of the program will feature HIV experts reviewing and discussing the most important studies on HIV therapy presented at IAS 2017. This review and discussion will provide a comprehensive overview of each of the posters and presentations selected.
