IMPAACT at CROI 2026

ShareShare

IMPAACT colleagues presented 18 abstracts with data from 12 studies (2 as oral presentations, 1 as a poster with themed discussion, and 15 as poster presentations) at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) 2026, held from 22 to 25 February 2026 in Denver, Colorado, USA. 

  • The IMPAACT 2017/MOCHA team shared results on long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine in adolescents through Week 96 and end-of-study; data from IMPAACT 2036/CRAYON demonstrated that monthly injections of cabotegravir and rilpivirine can be used safely to treat young children with HIV. These results were also highlighted in a press release from ViiV Healthcare.
  • Preliminary findings of viral control among children in Botswana receiving combination broadly neutralizing antibodies were presented by the IMPAACT 2042/Tatelo Plus team, along with two posters presenting safety and pharmacokinetics and susceptibility patterns.
  • Primary findings from IMPAACT 2016 were presented as a poster and themed discussion, along with a poster sharing implementation outcomes from this study of peer-led mental health interventions in youth with HIV.

Additional presentations include data from IMPAACT 2010/VESTED, IMPAACT 2008, P1115, P1112, P1078/TB APPRISE, PROMISE 1077BF, P1026s, and P1025.
