Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference

16 - 18 September 2024
 ICC Sydney, Gadigal Country, Australia



As we draw the curtain on the highly successful Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference 2024, we reflect on the remarkable three days that took place at the ICC Sydney, on Gadigal Country, from 16–18 September.
This year, we were proud to showcase cutting-edge research and the latest evidence in HIV from across the globe. We deeply value your contribution to this shared vision, and we look forward to continuing our partnership as we look at the research and best practice models of care, and work towards making the virtual elimination of HIV transmission a reality.
The Executive Committee would like to express their gratitude and thanks to all the presenters, chairpersons, attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, and organisers who contributed to this conference.







Save the date
