Reports from the workshop

The First International Workshop in Clinical Pharmacology in HIV Therapy was held from 30-31 March in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Over 30 oral presentations and 50 posters provided information on new assays, quality assurance, drug interactions, adherence, sanctuary sites, PK related to efficacy and therapeutic drug levels monitoring. It was notable that over 40 of the 120 delegates present were from the US, and this reflected an increased interest in using TDM in clinical practice that has been generated by European researchers.
