Over the years, advances in HIV treatment have led to an enhanced understanding of the virus and improved care of HIV infected patients. However, our insights into the spread of the HIV virus remain limited. A more extensive exchange of knowledge on the various aspects of HIV transmission provides important outlooks for a better approach to the epidemic. For this purpose, an integrated forum was set up in 2006 to reveal the perspectives of experts from different fields, enabling discussion on all relevant mechanisms of HIV transmission. Since then the annual Transmission Workshops are valuable to those specialized (or specializing) in HIV transmission.
The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for basic scientists, clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists, and public health officials to present and to discuss the various aspects of the transmission of HIV. The ultimate goal of the workshop is the integration of efforts from all relevant disciplines in order to constrain the spread of (drug-resistant) HIV. We are sure that the workshop will help achieve this goal.
