Highlights from the Seventh International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy, 8-11 December 2015, Miami, Florida, USA
No full textOver 4 days, more than 270 scientists involved in HIV persistence research convened to share their data and discuss future avenues to control HIV without continuous antiretroviral therapy. This 7(th) International Workshop on HIV Persistence followed the format of the preceding conferences but more time was given for discussing abstracts submitted by the participants and selected by the Steering and Scientific Committees. The topic of the workshop is HIV persistence: consequently, issues of HIV reservoirs and HIV cure are also addressed. In this article we report as closely as possible what was discussed. However, owing to length constraints, not everything is reported here but all the Workshop abstracts can be found online (www.viruseradication.com)

The Search for a Cure for Persistent HIV Reservoirs
No full textThe persistence of prolonged HIV reservoirs in patients on effective antiretroviral therapy is the main hurdle to HIV eradication. However, major advances have been made over the last few years, both in basic and clinical science of HIV reservoirs. Consequently, the scientific community no longer banishes the term "cure". Despite such renewed hope, there is little investment by both public and private groups in the field. It is therefore imperative to make this a priority and allocate sufficient resources, especially financial support, to aid in finding the cure since there is no effective preventive vaccine. This article discusses the main scientific aspects and strategies to address and build an international task force tackling issues associated with HIV reservoirs. (AIDS Rev. 2011;13:63-6
Conference highlights of the 5<sup>th </sup>international workshop on HIV persistence during therapy, 6-9 December 2011, St. Maartin, West Indies
No full textAbstract The December 2011 5th International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy addressed the issue of HIV persistence among 210 scientists from 10 countries involved in the study of HIV reservoirs and the search of an HIV cure. High quality abstracts were selected and discussed as oral or poster presentations. The aim of this review is to distribute the scientific highlights of this workshop outside the group as analyzed and represented by experts in retrovirology, immunology and clinical research.</p
