The WAVE team invites healthcare professionals across Europe to participate in a survey on anal cancer screening practices for women living with HIV.

This survey aims to gather insights into the clinical protocols followed by nurses, doctors, and allied healthcare professionals in various international settings, with the goal of expanding knowledge on anal cancer screening and improving European guidelines for best practice.

If you are a healthcare professional working with women living with HIV in Europe, please take a few minutes to share your experiences in this survey, open until 6 December 2024.

On 16-17 October, EACS held the biennial Standard of Care for HIV and Co-infections meeting in Athens, Greece. The aim of the meeting was developing a common standard of HIV clinical care throughout Europe.

EACS’ decision to hold the 2024 meeting in Athens, Greece and to invite healthcare and community representatives from Türkiye and Greece to help organise it was timely. This region – the bridge between western and eastern worlds for millennia – has also become the world’s hotspot for HIV in terms of new infections.

We are excited to announce that the 20th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2025) will take place from 15-18 October 2025, in the iconic city of Paris. This marks a special occasion as we return to Paris, which last hosted the conference 33 years ago.

The city holds historical significance in the fight against HIV, having been the location where the first Declaration on Fast-Track Cities to End the HIV Epidemic was signed on World AIDS Day in 2014.

Under the theme, "From Science to Implementation," EACS 2025 will emphasise the importance of translating cutting-edge scientific advancements into effective solutions to the ongoing HIV epidemic, with the aim of ending AIDS by 2030.

Dear EACS member,

You are cordially invited to the EACS General Assembly scheduled on Monday, 18 November 2024 from 16:00-17:00 CET. The meeting will be conducted via an online video conference.
