Welcome message
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure and honour to welcome you to the 27th IUSTI World Congress – The International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections, which will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, in 14–17 October 2026.
The local Organizing Committee, the Scientific Committee, and the Executive Council of IUSTI World and IUSTI Europe are going to create an attractive program for doctors, nurses, and researchers in the field of the control of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection.
In terms of transportation, Prague is a cosmopolitan city in the heart of Europe that is very easy to reach. The excellent local public transport system in Prague is characterized by short waiting times.
Set against the backdrop of the charming city of Prague, our congress offers a platform for scientific discourse and an opportunity to immerse oneself in the charm of this historic city.
To sum up, we are sure that attending the 27th IUSTI World Congress in Prague in 2026 will mean great scientific enrichment and a feeling of coming home to a traditional yet modern cosmopolitan city and meeting the IUSTI family and friends.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague in Autumn 2026!
Prof. MUDr. Jana Tresnak Hercogova, CSc., MHA, IFAAD
IUSTI World Congress 2026 President
