The International Workshop on HIV Persistence During Therapy

描述（由申请人提供）：第五届国际艾滋病毒治疗期间的持久性研讨会将于2011年12月6日至9日在西印度群岛的圣马丁举行。自2003年第一期研讨会以来，“HIV持久性和储存库”问题变得更加相关，不仅对于生物学家，而且对于面临长期控制持续性逆转录病毒感染问题的临床医生。由于有效治疗的患者经历神经认知功能障碍，过早衰老和持续性炎症，更多的关注是这些水库和新的治疗策略能够在这个水平上针对艾滋病毒。该讲习班被公认为“关于艾滋病毒储存库的参考讲习班。“该方案的格式将继续遵循过去的成功，并包括介绍新的，未发表的数据和一个专家小组，以总结目前的数据在该领域。具体目标：1。汇集艾滋病毒持久性和潜伏期竞技场的医生、临床医生、科学家和临床研究人员，介绍和讨论科学研究和新数据。2.通过参加者奖学金，为来自各国的代表性不足的科学家、年轻的研究生、护士和/或博士后研究员提供培训。3.为医生提供继续医学教育（CME）学分。教育目标：2011年计划的教育目标是实现以下类别的进步：1。动物模型和储库; 2.细胞生物学和水库; 3.病毒学，免疫学和水库; 4。药理学、强化和储库; 5.临床意义的commonly和水库; 6。艾滋病毒感染和根除的主要问题; 7。新的治疗方法。设计与方法：治疗期间艾滋病毒持续性国际研讨会将由国际公认的方案委员会设计，每两年在西印度群岛的圣马丁举行一次，为期2.5天。它将包括口头和海报形式的科学介绍。与会者人数将限制在150人，与会者必须提交摘要，以供选择，无论是口头介绍还是海报介绍。与往年一样，抽象的选择将非常严格。继续医学教育认证理事会（ACCME）认证计划将为代表和教师之间的正式和非正式互动提供充足的时间。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Fifth International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy will take place on December 6-9, 2011 in St. Martin, West Indies. Since the first edition of this workshop in 2003, the issue of "HIV Persistence & Reservoirs" has become more relevant, not only for the biologist but also for the clinician facing the problem of a long-term control of a persistent retroviral infection. As effectively treated patients experience neurocognitive dysfunction, premature aging, and persistent inflammation, more attention is paid to these reservoirs and to new therapeutic strategies capable of targeting HIV at this level. The Workshop is recognized as "THE reference workshop on HIV reservoirs." The program format will continue to follow the past successes and include presentation of new, unpublished data and a panel of experts to sum up the current data in the field. Specific Aims: 1. Bring together physicians, clinicians, scientists and clinical researchers in the HIV persistence and latency arena to present and discuss scientific research and new data. 2. Provide training of underrepresented scientists from various countries, young graduate students, nurses, and/or post-doctoral fellows through attendee scholarships. 3. Provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for physicians. Educational Objectives: The educational objectives of the 2011 program are to achieve advancement in the following categories: 1. Animal Models and Reservoirs; 2. Cellular Biology and Reservoirs; 3. Virology, Immunology and Reservoirs; 4. Pharmacology, Intensification and Reservoirs; 5. Clinical Implications of Compartments and Reservoirs; 6. Primary HIV Infection and Eradication Issues; 7. New Therapeutic Approaches. Design & Methods: The International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy program will be designed by an internationally-recognized Program Committee, and will take place over 2.5 days biannually in St. Martin, West Indies. It will include scientific presentations in both oral and poster presentation formats. The number of participants will be limited to 150, and participants must have submitted abstracts for selection as either an oral or poster presentation. As in previous years, abstract selection will be extremely rigorous. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)-accredited program will provide ample time for formal and informal interactions between delegates and faculty.
