Introduction
The Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections is a research meeting created to provide a forum for basic and clinical science investigators to present, discuss, and critique developments in the field of human retrovirology and related opportunistic complications.

The retroviral subjects which will be highlighted are: virology, pathogenesis, host-virus interactions, pathology, immunology, epidemiology, diagnostics, prevention, therapy, pharmacology, and vaccines. In addition, new scientific studies concerning the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of associated opportunistic infections will be included.

The meeting will feature state-of-the-art lectures that will be highly scientific in nature, round table symposia that will present and debate controversial scientific issues, original slide and poster presentations of new data, poster discussion groups, and late breakers which consist of important preliminary research findings.
