The session will conclude with a panel discussion and an opportunity for live Q&A with the experts.
In this ViiV-supported medical symposium, an international expert faculty shared their own clinical experiences to discuss the past, present and future of HIV care.
Prof. Mark Nelson led a discussion with Prof. Praphan Phanuphak to shed light on the history of HIV/AIDS in Asia. They focused on the evolution of ART and holistic HIV care over the past four decades. Looking ahead, they then explored the potential evolution of Modern ART, discussing the necessary changes to optimize HIV care in the next 30 years.
Dr. Choy Chiaw Yee and Dr. Lai Peng Ho both discussed the History of ART, sharing case studies from Asia and demonstrating how data influenced clinical decisions.

The Gilead Sciences-sponsored symposium at APACC this year was themed ‘Leaving No One Behind – Closing the 3rd 90 Gap in Asia’ and aimed to provide a platform for healthcare professionals to discuss the latest clinical updates, real-world challenges, and strategies to optimize treatment outcomes in the management of people living with HIV (PLWH) across the Asia Pacific region. Specifically, the objectives of this session were to:
Review the complex challenges of managing PLWH in Asia
Discuss strategies to bridge the current treatment gaps in Asia

Dear colleagues,
The Asia-Pacific AIDS & Co-Infections Conference (APACC) 2023 took place from 8 to 10 June 2023 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre as a hybrid conference.
Over the years, enormous progress has been made in the fight against HIV and co-infections. Both academia and industry have contributed greatly to equipping the medical community with the best medications and expertise possible to optimally treat people living with HIV. However, international platforms for scientific interchange are not always accessible to medical professionals worldwide due to budget and travel restrictions. Also, most major conferences do not usually address local and regional issues. In particular, the Asian medical community in this field of research currently has very few platforms that serve the needs of HIV healthcare professionals in this region.
APACC provides a much-needed scientific platform that focuses on the developments, issues, and needs in the Asia-Pacific region. Researchers have the opportunity to present and discuss the latest developments and are offered opportunities for interaction, networking, and building collaborations. Top experts integrate science and clinical practice through state-of-the-art lectures, clinical case discussions, round table discussions, and debates in order to reach a consensus on best practices and inform how treatment guidelines are implemented.
Nittaya Phanuphak, Reena Rajasuriar, and Joseph Tucker.
