About This Event

This will be a review of presentations and discussions from the 18th International AIDS Conference: AIDS 2010 held in Vienna, Austria. This training will update clinicians who were unable to attend the Vienna gathering, and provide a forum for discussing the conference's proceedings. The Community Consortium responds to its members specifically asking for updates from major HIV related conferences. Many of our local providers are not able to attend the international conferences and are interested in a clinically focused "report back."

Who Should Attend

Clinicians and local HIV service providers.

Objectives

Following the training, attendees will be prepared to:

• Review data on research on HIV policies and new treatment agents being studied in early phase trials, as presented at IAC.
  
• Summarize results of ongoing clinical trials investigating novel HIV treatment strategies.
• Identify new information on HIV pathogenesis related to evidence-based HIV/AIDS interventions, including harm-reduction strategies for IDUs.
• Apply new knowledge to clinical practice.

Speakers:

Diane Havlir, MD; Oliver Bacon, MD; Janet Myers, PhD; moderated by Stephen O’Brien, MD, Director of East Bay AIDS Center
