5th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections

February 1-5, 1998. Chicago, IL.


AIDS Treatment Project's Raffi Babakhanian, Paul Blanchard, Simon Collins, Mike Hall, Brent Magee and Yasmin Motala were delegates at last weeks Chicago Conference and the following preliminary reports of clinical significance have been compiled by Paul Blanchard . Due to the restricted number of places available for registration, many UK clinicians and researchers were unable to attend this meeting. ATP hopes that the provision of these reports will be of interest to those who were unable to attend.

This issue will concentrate on presentations concerning currently available antiretrovirals, viral load testing and evolving treatment strategies. Future issues will cover presentations on immunology, opportunistic infections and newer antiretroviral agents.
