This month, we're taking stock of clinically noteworthy developments from the IAS Conference on HIV Science in July. On the docket: new (definitive?) data on the relationship between weight gain and ART; a range of studies on ART strategy, including treatment simplification, injectable ART in viremic patients, intermittent oral ART dosing, and PrEP safety in pregnancy; and a glimpse at updated WHO treatment guidelines. We also discuss the general vibe at this year's meeting — and some big news regarding Laura's professional career.
