Paediatrics: Growing up on ART Oral Abstract Session

The recent discovery and genetic/structural characterization of a large number of novel HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) has led to renewed enthusiasm for their potential use in passive immunization strategies for HIV-1 prevention. The present session, directed to basic and clinical scientists, will provide an introduction to this topic and will highlight key research developments in the field. At the completion of the session, participants will understand the basics of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies and their application in passive immunization strategies. Participants will also gain an understanding of the mechanisms of HIV-1 transmission/spread (cell-free vs. cell associated) and their consequences for efficiency of HIV-1 blockade by NAbs. Finally, an overview of current and future studies aimed at formulating NAbs as HIV-1 prevention strategies, including an update on the preliminary data from the NIH VRC601 trial, will be provided.

HIV Testing: The Gateway for Everything Oral Poster Discussion

Co-Chairs: Chris Beyrer, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, United States Eugenia Socias, Fundacion Huesped, Argentina In this special session, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci discusses recent progress and challenges in the field of HIV prevention. He will outline emerging opportunities within and synergies between vaccine and non-vaccine prevention modalities, and the critical roles each will play in ending HIV transmission. In particular, he will discuss the potential impact of scaling up treatment as prevention and the selective application of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in selected at-risk populations. In addition, he will outline the scientific challenges that remain in HIV vaccinology, including the effort to improve upon the modest success of the RV144 trial and the potential to deliver or induce broadly neutralizing antibodies to block HIV transmission. He also will discuss the “implementation gap” between the development of interventions and their delivery to people who need them, and potential solutions (e.g., deploying tailored interventions in high-transmission settings) needed to close that gap.

Implementation Challenges among People Who Inject Drugs

Venue:

Evidence-based prevention means basing the response on local epidemic data and providing prevention services wherever risk is occurring. Combination prevention programmes are designed and delivered at local/community level but enabled and resourced at national and state/provincial levels. Combination prevention promotes the association of biomedical, behavioural, and structural/community interventions in an appropriate mix to reduce HIV incidence. Combinations must focus on the predominant mode of transmission in a locality. Effective combinations can thus be discerned and defined using available evidence but call for a different way of doing business and assessing impact. This session is directed to clinicians involved in the care of people living with HIV, medical care providers, behavioural health professionals, global Ministry of Health and HIV programme managers, implementers, funders, and monitoring and evaluation specialists, and aims to further define the concept and practice of combination prevention, relating this to prevention programmes for sexual transmission and offering new insights, innovations and directions in this field.

Time:

14:30-16:00

Co-Chairs: Peter Reiss, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam University, Netherlands Michael Lederman, Case Western Reserve University, United States Immune activation/inflammation persists despite suppressive HAART and multiple lines of evidence link persistent immune activation to increased morbidity and mortality in HIV-positive individuals. However, inflammation may play a dual role in modulating the course of infection, with certain types of inflammatory responses – notably type 1 interferon responses – conferring beneficial effects alongside detrimental ones. Directed to scientists and clinicians interested in the latest research on immune activation in HIV, this translational session will summarize our current understanding of the role of inflammation in modulating HIV-1 infection and will discuss whether and how to incorporate inflammatory biomarkers into clinical practice. At the completion of the session, participants will understand the different causes of immune activation in HIV-positive people on cART and its morbid consequences, and will be able to assess different therapeutic approaches with their advantages and disadvantages.

How Would You Like Your PrEP? Symposia Session

Venue:

Ballroom C-D

Time:

14:30-16:00

Co-Chairs: Jean-Michel Molina, Saint-Louis Hospital, France Robert M Grant, Gladstone Institutes, United States This session presents latest findings from the HPTN 067 ADAPT trial of non-daily PrEP in Cape Town, Bangkok, and Harlem. The study findings have deep implications for PrEP rollout, related to flexibility in dosing, engagement with PrEP and factors leading to disengagement, forgiveness for missed doses, and how to start and how to stop PrEP, and patterns of sexual activity among women and MSM. Combined with emerging information from pharmacokinetics studies and the Ipergay study, this session provides an outstanding opportunity to discuss the safety, efficacy, and utility of non-daily regimens, and provide a perspective on overall flexibility in PrEP dosing. Directed toward practitioners who are prescribing PrEP, program implementers, advocates and policy makers, the objective of the session is to improve our understanding and practice of PrEP rollout, including how PrEP use can be adapted to different patterns of sexual activity. Introduction

Antiretroviral therapy’s proven ability to prevent deaths, illness and new infections cannot be effectively harnessed without substantially greater success in expanding knowledge of HIV status. As of today, more than 50% of people living with HIV do not know their sero-status. As the world embarks on ending AIDS by 2030, stakeholders have embraced a new target to ensure that by 2020 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status. Achieving this target will require a major reinvention of HIV testing. Maximising HIV testing uptake and ensuring early diagnosis of people living with HIV will require much stronger leadership on HIV testing, strategic combination of acceptable and high yield testing modalities, policy changes to decentralize and democratize HIV testing and fully embracing innovations including HIV self-testing and incidence testing. This session will bring together leading experts in a panel discussion on the programmatic changes and innovations needed to close the testing gap. It will include a debate on HIV self-testing, multidisease campaigns and explore the potentials of incidence testing.

High rates of patient recruitment, retention, and adherence to study interventions in HIV trials are essential to ensuring reliable study outcomes. Patient and community education should thus be a key priority for any investigator seeking to conduct a trial, and is particularly essential when involving vulnerable and key affected populations who face additional social and legal barriers to study participation. This workshop is directed to trial researchers and staff as well as community educators interested in engaging key populations in clinical trials. At the completion of the session, participants will understand the requirements for participant- and community-level training regarding the purposes and conduct of HIV research trials. They will increase their appreciation of clinical trial literacy needs and implementation approaches for different vulnerable populations and by geographic setting. In addition, they will be able to recognize and understand reasons for the success or failure of efforts to engage vulnerable populations in trials and propose solutions to address deficiencies in trial preparations.

Questions and answers There is as burgeoning epidemic in the heart of Canada among the aboriginal communities of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Despite the recognition of the problem early in 2009, little progress has been made to slow the rate of new infections and deal with the health disparities that fuel the epidemic. Similar but distinct issues are relevant to Eastern Europe and the Southern US. This workshop is targeted to health professionals, public health officials, and affected communities and will highlight the similarities and differences between these local population specific epidemics. It will discuss what the relevant medical, public health and governmental agencies have and have not done to address these issues and to discuss potential unique and common solutions to the problem.

Time:

16:30-18:00

Co-Chairs: Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Institut Pasteur, France Sharon Lewin, Doherty Institute, The University of Melbourne, Australia Currently, various strategies for achieving long-term drugfree HIV remission are being explored. Such strategies include, in particular, ‘shock and kill’ approaches - involving the reactivation of latently-infected CD4+ T-cells through the use of chromatin remodeling and/or other small molecules while on suppressive HAART (the “shock”), followed by gene and/or immunomodulatory therapies to eliminate recrudescent virus (the “kill”) as well as a diametrically opposed strategy – that of permanently silencing HIV reservoirs via approaches to maintain HIV latency. This session is directed to scientists and clinicians interested in this issue. It will provide an overview of strategies to achieve sustained HIV remission and debate their relative merits, challenges and feasibility. At the completion of the session, participants will have a broad understanding of strategies currently under investigation, will appreciate the relative merits, limitations and remaining knowledge gaps associated with each approach and will comprehend how they may be combined or used in complement.
