Join IPM at HIV R4P 2018!

We hope you will join IPM in Madrid Oct. 21-25 for the 3rd HIV Research for Prevention (R4P) Conference to learn the latest research on IPM's monthly dapivirine ring and other long-acting products designed to offer women new options to stay HIV-free and protect their sexual and reproductive health, on their own terms.

Find us at the oral presentations listed below and in the Poster Hall, where IPM and our partners will be presenting more than 40 posters on IPM’s work—including new interim data from DREAM, one of two open-label extension studies of the dapivirine ring (P19.48LB, Wed., Oct. 24, 17:30-19:30). Download the full list of presentations here.

And be sure to follow us on Twitter at @IPMicrobicides to keep up with news that catches our eye!
