Welcome to AIDS 2012
Register until 23 February to avoid late fee surcharge
Delegates are encouraged to register until
23 February 2012 to avoid a late fee surcharge. All registrations for AIDS 2012 must be submitted through the online registration form. Before you can register, you need to create a conference profile from which you can enter the registration system. Your conference profile will then become your online gateway to all conference-related submissions. Delegates of previous International AIDS Conferences or IAS Conferences can use previous profile log-in information to access their profile.
To register for AIDS 2012, or for further information on the registration process, please visit:
www.aids2012.org/registration.aspx.
Abstract mentor programme: deadline 1 February 2012
The goal of the AIDS 2012 Abstract Mentor Programme is to provide an opportunity for young and/or less experienced abstract submitters to ask for feedback from experienced abstract submitters. The programme is especially targeted at researchers from resource-limited settings who lack access to opportunities for rigorous mentoring in research and writing, for whom online distance education is proven to cost-effectively build research capacity.
The programme is completely independent of the abstract review and selection process and is entirely dependent on volunteer experienced researchers acting as mentors.
For more information regarding the Abstract Mentor Programme please visit
www.aids2012.org/abstract_mentor.aspx.
Abstract submissions: deadline 15 February 2012
The XIX International AIDS Conference welcomes the submission of abstracts for original contribution to the field in the following five scientific tracks:
- Track A: Basic Science
- Track B: Clinical Science
- Track C: Epidemiology and Prevention Science
- Track D: Social Science, Human Rights and Political Science
- Track E: Implementation Science, Health Systems and Economics
Abstract submissions will be scored by an international panel of reviewers through a blind peer-review process and ultimately selected by members of the AIDS 2012 Scientific Programme and Track Committees. Online abstract submissions close on
15 February 2012.
For full information on the scope and objectives for each of the tracks please visit
