Retroviruses Conference, January 30 - February 2
The latest research and treatment information will be presented at the 7th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, San Francisco, January 30 - February 2. We may delay our next issue in order to cover the conference.The official conference Web site is http://www.retroconference.org; it will have searchable abstracts (hopefully before the conference begins), and some of the presentations. Usually the official site has the major background lectures, but not the slide sessions or late breakers where new data is presented. There will be other coverage on the Web, and we will have links to it on the AIDS Treatment News site, http://www.aidsnews.org
Early news from the conference will also be reported in the press; most press reports will be on the AEGIS "AIDS" email list. Other news and commentary on the conference is likely to be on the treatment-oriented AIDS email lists, especially TREATMENT, PI-TREAT, LIPIDLIST, and others. All of these lists are free; for information on how to subscribe, see "Treatment and Related AIDS Email Lists," AIDS Treatment News #332; this article is available at: http://www.aids.org/atn/a-332-01.html
The three activist meetings mentioned in our last issue (the January 29 meeting on long-term treatment effectiveness research, the daily one-hour meetings on what is happening at the conference, and the ACT UP meeting on intellectual property and treatment access in developing counties) have not yet announced exact times and locations. This information will probably be sent to the treatment lists mentioned above.
