Announcements

If you are attending AIDS 2016, don't forget to stop by the IMPT's booth (#341) in the Exhibition Hall! Here, you can participate in our With An MPT I Can campaign, grab MPT publications, swag and a sweet treat, and learn more about the global movement for MPTs. 

Throughout the week, in collaboration with the  Athena Network, we will be hosting informal discussions entitled "#WhatWomenWant - An Interactive Dialogue Series On Young Women & MPTs." These discussions will focus on the ways in which we can ensure that MPTs are not only clinically efficacious and safe, but also desirable, accessible, and acceptable to the young women and adolescent girls who need them most. Follow the IMPT on  Facebook &  Twitter for more details about these discussions, and for other live updates from the conference.
