The STEPS workshops, initiated by Giulio Maria Corbelli in 2014 and organised annually ahead of the main European HIV scientific events, are an opportunity to expand the dialogue among community members, researchers and other relevant stakeholders, such as peer educators, community journalists, advocates, industry partners and healthcare professionals, in order to promote the share of knowledge, information, experiences from different perspectives, as well as community engagement in research on the HIV cure and related topics.
The 10th STEPS HIV Cure community-led workshop took place on November 10, 2024, ahead of HIV Glasgow 2024 conference and was attended by more than 100 different stakeholders.
The meeting report was prepared by Alain Volny-Anne and provides an overview of key messages from the workshop.

Key Highlights
- The majority of HIV cure trial participants are male, although it would seem that HIV reactivation occurs differently in women.
- ATIs are still the best viral control measurements in the absence of biomarkers.
- It remains to be seen if post-treatment control will eliminate HIV-related stigma.
- There is growing evidence that bNAbs have a “vaccinal” effect against HIV.
