8th European HIV Drug Resistance Workshop 17-19 March 2010, Sorrento, Italy

The European HIV Drug Resistance Workshops have proven very valuable to European researchers and clinicians working in the field of HIV. This annual European workshop has become the place-to-be to keep abreast of the latest scientific developments in the field of HIV drug resistance and to translate the latest science to daily clinical practice.

As drug resistance remains a critical topic, we are organizing the 8th European HIV Drug Resistance Workshop, From basic science to clinical decision making, in Sorrento, Italy, from 17-19 March 2010. Conference venue will be the Hilton Sorrento Palace Hotel.

As it is customary, the meeting spans a two and a half-day program consisting of invited lectures, abstract driven scientific presentations, clinical case presentations and poster sessions. The workshop will address important topics such as mechanisms and clinical implications of drug resistance, epidemiology of drug resistance, resistance to new drugs, resistance technology, managing HIV-HCV co-infection, etc.

Abstract submission
Abstracts may be submitted until 19 January 2010. Please go to the Abstract Submission page for information about abstract submission.

General guidelines

Abstracts should contain the following four components.

Background: a concise statement of the issue under investigation or a hypothesis;
Material & Methods: the experimental methods used (including the statistical analyses employed);
Results: specific findings (promises such as "to be completed" or "to be presented" are not acceptable); and
Conclusions: a summary of findings that are supported by your results (statistical analyses used to support the conclusions, where appropriate, should be included; concluding statements such as "the results will be discussed" are not acceptable).

Please note that abstracts cannot be accepted if tables or graphs are included.
The maximum word count for the abstract body is 500 words.

Abstracts are considered official communications to the conference and will be treated confidentially. For those abstracts that are accepted, submitters agree to attend the meeting and present their abstracts as scheduled.

Abstract submission

Categories for abstract submission
For purposes of review and programming, abstracts are divided into topical categories related to HIV Drug Resistance. Selection of the most appropriate category is important as it determines who will review your abstract. The Program Committee reserves the right to reassign your abstract to a more appropriate category.

- Epidemiology of HIV resistance
- Resistance in resource-limited settings
- Mechanisms of HIV resistance
- Resistance to antiretroviral drugs
- Clinical implications/cases
- Diagnostic technology
- Interpretation approaches
- Antiviral drug resistance to other (non HIV) viruses

Notification of abstract acceptance and presentation format
Notifications of acceptance and format of presentation (oral or poster) will be e-mailed to submitting authors approximately two weeks after the abstract submission deadline has been reached. It is the responsibility of the corresponding/presenting author to inform all co-authors of the abstract’s status. Please notify the Conference Secretariat if you have not received a notification by the second week of February.
