If you will be attending HIVR4P this October, join us for a satellite session on MPTs, entitled "The Next Wave in HIV Prevention: Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs)." The satellite will be co-chaired by Dr. Elizabeth Bukusi (KEMRI) and Professor Helen Rees (Wits RHI) and will aim to further the development of a consensus strategy unifying funders, developers, and market entities in the product neutral assessment of relevant MPT market drivers and technical options, and eliminate impediments to appropriate MPT development.
