Abstract

In the absence of a cure or a vaccine, new HIV infections continue to accumulate 30 years into the pandemic. By contrast, over the past 15 years, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has prevented progression to AIDS and death for millions of people. More recently, it has become increasingly apparent that HAART has a secondary preventive effect on HIV and tuberculosis transmission. As a result, the International AIDS Society, with the support of key international agencies, organised the International Treatment as Prevention Workshop. 1 International Treatment as Prevention WorkshopVancouver, BC, Canada. http://www.cfenet.ubc.ca/events/international-workshop-treatment-preventionDate: May 4–6, 2011 Google Scholar At the end of the Workshop, it had become clear that treatment as prevention has progressed from a testable hypothesis to an urgent implementation priority.
