Abstract

This Commentary reflects on the success of the XVI International Conference on AIDS, that was held in Toronto between August 13-18, 2006. Not only was the Conference judged to have been a scientific success, it will probably also be recognized over time as having had important political impact. It is vital that scientists and policy-makers continue to be able to interact at these meetings as part of global efforts to combat the HIV epidemic.
