International AIDS Conference of the International AIDS Society

AIDS 2026, the 26th International AIDS Conference, will take place in Rio de Janeiro and online from 26 to 31 July 2026, bringing together the global HIV community at a pivotal moment for public health. As the world’s largest conference dedicated to HIV and AIDS, the event serves as a critical platform for advancing science, strengthening partnerships, and addressing emerging challenges in the global response.

Against a backdrop of funding constraints and significant reductions in HIV programme support, the conference will unite people living with HIV, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, community organizations, funders, and media representatives. The programme will focus on the latest scientific discoveries, public health strategies, prevention initiatives, treatment advances, and policy developments aimed at sustaining progress in HIV care.

Through scientific sessions, community-led discussions, and international collaboration, AIDS 2026 seeks to accelerate innovation while promoting equitable access to prevention, treatment, and support services worldwide. The hybrid format will enable broad global participation and foster meaningful dialogue across sectors and regions.
