IHV 1998 Annual Meeting (

Many of the world's leading researchers in the virology and immunology of HIV disease present new information at the annual meeting of the Institute for Human Virology; the 1998 meeting occurred August 23-29 in Baltimore. The complete list of speakers and their topics--about 200 scientific presentations--is available. About 1,000 people attended.

Many of the talks will be available through audio and slides at http://www.imgw.com/helix_splash/, an educational site for health care professionals developed by Glaxo Wellcome; there will be a link from the IHV site. Unfortunately some presentations could not be included, because researchers are concerned that certain medical journals will not publish new data if it is released first on the Web.

Abstracts of the talks are not on the Web, but will be published in the next Journal of Human Virology, which should be available in late September.
