AIDS 2026 | Dr. Bascombe: Moving Beyond BMI to Address Occult Liver Injury in Lean HIV-Associated Fatty Liver Disease
The 2026 International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2026) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Bringing together global specialists in infectious diseases, the conference covered a wide array of cutting-edge topics including viral prevention and control, antiretroviral therapy, and long-term health management for people living with HIV, and shared numerous innovative clinical research findings. At the conference, Dr. Florence Bascombe from University College London presented a special study on lean steatotic liver disease (SLD) among people living with HIV. Her discoveries have reshaped established clinical understanding of disease characteristics in patients with lean fatty liver disease, offering new insights into liver disease screening and management for this special population.
