All individuals interested in attending this Workshop are encouraged to submit an abstract application prior to the deadline of Wednesday, 18 June 2025. 

All abstract applications will be acknowledged, but this acknowledgment does not represent a confirmation of acceptance. Applications sent via e-mail cannot be accepted. Abstract authors will be notified by 2 July 2025 of the status of their submission.

The Workshop is the premier forum addressing the growing challenge of resistance to antiretrovirals, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Leading laboratory scientists, clinical investigators, epidemiologists, programme directors and other stakeholders will present and discuss the latest findings on HIV drug resistance and its implications particularly for LMIC.

The Workshop programme will consist of educational sessions, invited plenary presentations and abstract sessions.

While abstracts relating to HIV drug resistance from all settings are encouraged, the scientific committee is especially interested in abstracts that address issues for LMIC.
