The 14th Prestigious Lecture will be presented by Professor Ian Sanne, Director of Clinical HIV Research Unit and Professor Francois Venter, Deputy Executive Director of Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute. The speakers will provide insights into the history of access to antiretroviral treatment (ART), ranging from the pre-ART era to the historic 2000 IAS conference where the call for universal treatment originated. The lecture will also cover failure of HIV prevention, including the much hoped-for recent ‘’test and treat’’ approaches and how this has improved as well as the hope for new ART drugs.
