title: Retroviruses and opportunistic infections--eighth annual conference.
abstract: The major focus of the Eighth Annual Retrovirus Conference was recent developments in the field of human retrovirology and related opportunistic infections at the forefront of clinical and scientific research. A number of state of the art lectures and symposia were followed by evening poster sessions. Viral reservoirs were particularly highlighted in the meeting with major focus on the brain as a site of HIV-1 persistence. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was discussed in detail as well as optimism for future antiretrovirals, such as entry and fusion inhibitors. Data were also presented on co-receptor inhibitors and their potential as future HIV medications.
