An excellent two-hour summary of major practical themes from the 12th World AIDS Conference, intended primarily for HIV care providers, is now available in both text and audio on the Web.
Topics discussed include new antiretrovirals (especially efavirenz), protease inhibitors and how to use them, hydroxyurea, when to start antiretroviral treatment, HIV treatment during pregnancy, more
sensitive viral load tests, viral resistance testing, post-exposure prevention, the possibility of less aggressive antiretroviral approaches, adherence issues, twice daily and even once-daily antiretroviral dosing regimens,
body-shape changes and metabolic disorders, salvage therapy, cost-effectiveness of antiretroviral treat- ment, under-served populations, access to care, prevention of mother-infant transmission, and the need for experienced physicians
in quality HIV care.
Both the written transcript and the audio program are available at hopkins-aids.edu/geneva/info.html.
