Until we meet again
We’ve come to the end of IAS 2025, and at the IAS, we are filled with gratitude for the spirit and dedication you brought to this gathering. Despite challenges created by funding cuts, almost 4,000 people came together in Kigali and virtually, showing the resilience that defines the HIV response and a commitment to protecting gains made in over 40 years of this pandemic.
IAS 2025 featured over 142 oral abstract presentations and over 1,400 posters, with about 600 in person, sharing discoveries, innovations and insights from the continent of Africa and beyond that are shaping the response. We treasure every conversation and every hand extended in partnership over the past five days. IAS 2025 has shown us, again, that progress is possible when we listen, learn and act together – no matter what our current challenges are.
We look forward to walking with you on the road to AIDS 2026, the 26th International AIDS Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Rethink. Rebuild. Rise. See you there!

Language matters
At the IAS, we actively use language that puts people first. This is because words have power: they bestow or remove dignity, build or break stigma, and divide or unite the HIV response. Through the words we choose to use at the IAS, we acknowledge that a person is so much more than a condition; we promote inclusivity, dialogue and equality.
Inclusion is a priority for IAS 2025. We offer lower registration fees for delegates from upper-middle, lower-middle and low-income countries, as well as students, postdocs and young people.
