The International AIDS Society has opened abstract submissions for the AIDS 2026 Conference, one of the world’s leading platforms for advancing the global response to HIV/AIDS.
AIDS 2026 aims to highlight cutting-edge research, real-world field experiences, community innovations and policy insights that can help accelerate efforts toward ending HIV.
The conference places equal emphasis on scientific breakthroughs and community-led solutions, recognising that sustained progress depends on both.
Abstracts are welcome from any discipline connected to HIV prevention, treatment, rights, advocacy, or social impact.
Benefits
While this call is strictly for abstract submissions and not a grant opportunity, selected authors gain substantial visibility by being featured in the official AIDS 2026 scientific programme.
Presenters will benefit from international exposure, professional networking, and the opportunity to shape conversations that influence policy, practice, and future research directions.
Who can apply
The call is open to a wide range of contributors whose work advances the HIV response. Eligible applicants include:
-
Researchers and academics
-
Medical and public health practitioners
-
Civil society and community organisations
-
Youth advocates and innovators
-
Human rights and social science professionals
Applicants from academic, clinical and community backgrounds are all encouraged to apply.
Requirements
Applicants must submit an abstract that clearly outlines the purpose, methodology, results, insights or impact of their work.
All submissions should follow the conference’s formatting rules and thematic guidelines.
Work from all disciplines is welcome, provided it contributes meaningfully to HIV-related knowledge, practice or community outcomes.
Deadline
The deadline for abstract submission is May 7, 2026. Visit the International AIDS Society website to apply.
