AIDS United Staff and Board of Trustees traveled to Munich this week for the International AIDS Conference (IAS), presented by the International AIDS Society. The IAS has been at the center of the HIV response since 1985, bringing about global solidarity. IAS reminds us progress happens when science, policy, and activism come together, domestically or internationally. We’ll have lots to share #AIDS2024 over the course of the week, but check out in real time how the AIDS United A-team in it, on it, and doing it globally.
