From publication to practice: Translating research for media and the public

From publication to practice: Translating research for media and the public

Following the public release of HIV science presented at&nbsp;AIDS 2026, the 26th International AIDS Conference, this webinar will equip HIV researchers with practical tools to communicate their science.&nbsp;Publishing research is only the beginning of the journey from evidence to impact. Scientific findings influence practice, policy, advocacy and public understanding only when they are communicated clearly, accurately and in ways that resonate with different audiences. In HIV, research only achieves its full value when it informs decisions, changes practice, strengthens advocacy efforts, or improves the lives of people affected by HIV. Yet, most researchers receive little formal training in communicating beyond academic journals and conference presentations. &nbsp;Through expert insights and real-world examples, webinar participants will explore strategies to adapt messages for different audiences while maintaining scientific accuracy, credibility and people-centred language. &nbsp;The webinar is designed for researchers at all career stages who want their work to have greater visibility, reach and influence beyond academia. &nbsp;Moderator:Linda-Gail Bekker, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the International AIDS Society, South AfricaSpeakers:Greg Millett, amfAR, USAJuan Michael Porter II, US People Living with HIV Network, USANadine Lindinger, Desmond Tutu Health Foundation, South Africa

AIDS 2026 pre-conference: 12th Symposium on Children and Adolescents with Perinatal HIV Exposure

As of 2024, an estimated 16 million children under 15 years of age had been perinatally exposed to HIV globally and were born HIV-free. An expanding body of evidence shows that these children experience a higher likelihood of infectious morbidity, mortality, impaired growth and suboptimal neurodevelopmental and cognitive outcomes than peers born to mothers without HIV, with the aetiology of these adverse outcomes reflecting an interplay of biological, social and structural factors.

AIDS 2026 pre-conference, "Advancing HIV prevention science and access"

To accelerate progress in HIV prevention, it is increasingly important to translate emerging scientific innovations into real-world impact. Recent breakthroughs, including the approval of lenacapavir, the first twice-yearly injectable PrEP, alongside advances in broadly neutralizing antibodies, mRNA-based platforms and immunogen design, are expanding the range of prevention options. However, these advances will have impact only if they are affordable, accessible and delivered at scale, particularly in low- and middle-income settings and for people most affected by HIV.
