10th Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC)

10th Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC) is organized by Academic Medical Education (AME) and will be held from Jun 12 - 14, 2025 at Tokyo International Exchange Center - Plaza Heisei, Koto city, Tokyo, Japan.

Description:
Over the years, enormous progress has been made in the fight against HIV and co-infections. Both academia and industry have contributed greatly to equipping the medical community with the best medications and expertise possible to optimally treat people living with HIV. However, international platforms for scientific interchange are not always accessible to medical professionals worldwide due to budget and travel restrictions. Also, most major conferences do not usually address local and regional issues. In particular, the Asian medical community in this field of research currently has very few platforms that serve the needs of HIV healthcare professionals in this region.

The Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC) provides a much-needed scientific platform that focuses on the developments, issues, and needs in the Asia-Pacific region. Researchers have the opportunity to present and discuss the latest developments and are offered opportunities for interaction, networking, and building collaborations. Top experts integrate science and clinical practice through state-of-the-art lectures, clinical case discussions, round table discussions, and debates in order to reach a consensus on best practices and inform how treatment guidelines are implemented.

Meeting Objectives:
This conference aims to:

• Build a community of healthcare professionals devoted to providing optimal clinical care for their patients;
• Create a platform for interactive information exchange on novel treatment strategies and options;
• Translate the latest studies and research achievements into clinical guidance for the optimal management of people living with HIV.

Learning Objectives:
After participating in this conference, participants will be able to:

• Describe the similarities and differences between the different international/ regional treatment guidelines;
• Select optimal treatment strategies for their patients understanding the various clinical parameters affecting the choice of regimens;
• Recall to latest developments for HIV prevention;
• Discuss the suitability of oral versus intramuscular injections for prevention/treatment;
• Summarize and compare the options for starting antiretroviral treatment;
• Describe the concept of early diagnosis and rapid start;
• Review the treatment options for patients failing on their current regimen.
