Antiretroviral treatment (ART) represents one of the greatest medical successes in history and the most effective measure in preventing vertical transmission (mother-child) of HIV infection. In fact, the introduction of ART in pregnant women has made it possible to reduce the number of new infections in children by 70% since 2000. Thanks to advances in ART, people with HIV infection can now have a quality of life and life expectancy comparable to that of the general population.

This international conference on Hot topics in HIV – Vaccines, immune recovery and eradication responds to the need of providing an update on HIV, where prominent experts present the latest updates on how and when current and new drugs can be used; reactivation of reservoirs; immunotherapies; and genetic and cellular therapies.

Immunotherapy has been a major breakthrough in the treatment of haematological diseases in recent years. In this sense, the progressive understanding of the diseases from the oncogenic point of view has helped the development of new therapies directed more specifically against tumour cells, with greater efficacy and less toxicity.

The rapid and effective implementation of PrEP has been hindered by the pandemic, resource limitations, and an uneven level of knowledge, both in the field of HIV and STIs, as well as in providing care to the key populations it targets.

The multidisciplinary work of the different teams involved in the therapeutic approach to patients treated with outpatient hospital drugs requires adequate knowledge of the pathology to be treated and the drugs used.
