The deadline will not be extended and late-breaking abstracts will not be submitted
We are pleased to announce that also this year accepted abstracts will be published in an indexed BMJ STI Journal https://sti.bmj.com/ (Impact Factor: 3.6 - Citescore: 5.7) and published as a supplement: an important recognition at international level for the entire Italian scientific community.
Acceptance for publication in the BMJ STI Journal is optional and must be confirmed by the submitting author at the time of abstract submission, as per the instructions below.
Accepted abstracts will also be included in the Abstract Book ICAR 2025 and in the Congress Web Repository.
This year it will be possible to submit Case Reports exclusively through a dedicated Call for Case Report. All information, the template and the timeframe for submission will be available soon.
It will therefore not be possible to submit case reports through the abstract form of the Congress. Submitted papers will not be accepted.
The author submitting the abstract is considered the Presenting Author and:
When submitting, the author may choose from the following topics:
The ICAR scientific committee firmly believes that language is a powerful tool in shaping beliefs and influencing behaviours, particularly in the context of addressing the stigma surrounding chronic infections such as HIV and viral hepatitis. We urge conference attendees to prioritize person-centred language and be mindful of how their language and materials align with this principle. To assist in this effort, we recommend the adoption of UNAIDS-endorsed terminology, such as referring to people as “living with HIV” rather than “HIV-infected”. Together, we promote inclusivity and respect for all individuals affected by HIV and other chronic infections.
