OP 7.2 – 00035 Impact of 10-1074LS and 3BNC117-LS on viral rebound dynamics following treatment interruption six months after dosing: four cases from the open label arm of the RIO trial

Highlights from the Tenth International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy, December 13-16, 2022, Miami, Florida-USA

The International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy provides a forum in which HIV/AIDS researchers gather to share the latest research findings related to viral reservoirs and cure. The Tenth Workshop, which was attended by over 400 delegates, extended over 4 days and comprised eight sessions covering topics from the basic science of viral persistence to therapeutic approaches to HIV cure. Furthermore, satellite sessions on the first day of the Conference featuring cure research endeavours being pursued by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as those being coordinated under the National Institutes of Health Martin Delaney Collaboratory program, provided important updates on research advances being made in these initiatives. As with previous conferences, the International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy is primarily abstract-driven with only one invited talk for each of the sessions. This format, therefore, increases the number of presentations from early-stage investigators. Furthermore, presentations by Community representatives illustrated approaches to creating cure research literacy with effective messaging for the Community. The following article offers a synopsis of the meeting sessions. Due to space constraints, some presentations may have only been briefly discussed. Nevertheless, the Workshop abstracts can be found online (https://www/sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-virus-eradication/vol/8/suppl/S).
