Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections Starts Sunday in Montreal

The 59th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2009) will take place next week, February 8-11, in Montreal, Canada.

As one of the most prominent international scientific meetings on HIV/AIDS, many researchers choose CROI as the venue for presenting their latest research.

While no breakthrough HIV drugs are nearing approval this year, the conference will feature several sessions on shifting antiretroviral therapy strategies, including the benefits and drawbacks of earlier treatment.

CROI 2009 will also include presentations dealing with complications of antiretroviral therapy, biomedical HIV prevention methods, and management of HIV/AIDS and opportunistic infections in resource-limited settings.

HIVandHepatitis.com will provide coverage from the meeting next week, with continuing reports in the following several issues.
Abstracts and selected presentations will be available on the conference web site, at www.retroconference.org/2009, as content is released from embargo next Monday through Wednesday.
