HTB

14th International Workshop on Co-morbidities and Adverse Drug Reactions (IWCADR), 19–21 July 2012, Washington

1 August 2012. Related: Conference reports, , .

This year, the multiple meetings held prior to the IAS conference contributed to slightly lower attendance at this long establish meeting with an interest in the complications in HIV and HIV/HCV coinfection (formerly “the lipodystrophy workshop”).

It is therefore disappointing – and an indication of funding difficulties shared by this and other specialised meetings – that this year none of the usually excellent plenary sessions or any other part of the programme are available as webcasts.

However, the abstract book from the meeting, published as a supplement to Antiviral Therapy, is available with free online access.

  • Earlier and greater comorbidities reported in HIV positive cohort
