With the rates of new HIV infections continuing to outpace the number of individuals who are able to start treatment, a global HIV prevention and treatment revolution is needed. Recent breakthrough clinical trials of topical microbicides, oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), vaccines and treatment as prevention show that each can reduce HIV infections. At the same time, successes with medical male circumcision programs and behavioral change in severely impacted countries are leading to a renewed focus on new combination approaches to HIV prevention.

As research brings us closer to having the additional tools to lead a global prevention and treatment revolution, the question remains: How to do we translate promising starts into real solutions that can end the epidemic? "Can We End the Epidemic" raises the tough questions about how to start and sustain an HIV prevention revolution that could end AIDS.

There will be no formal PowerPoint presentations in this satellite session.
