The 11th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections is a scientifically focused meeting of the world's leading researchers working to understand, prevent, and treat HIV/AIDS and its complications.

The goal of the Retrovirus Conference is to provide a forum for translating laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological research into medical applications.

The subjects that will be highlighted are: virology, immunology, vaccines, pathogenesis (disease mechanisms in humans and animal models), primary/acute infection, antiretroviral therapy (preclinical, clinical, complications, immune-based therapies, and treatment strategies), neuropathogenesis and neurologic complications, opportunistic infections, hepatitis virus co-infections, epidemiology, prevention studies (including microbicides), pediatrics/maternal-fetal studies, HIV infection in women/women’s health, diagnostics and monitoring, clinical pharmacology, HIV drug resistance, and clinical care and research in developing countries.

The meeting will feature the Ninth Annual Bernard Fields Memorial Lecture, a special Keynote Lecture, 6 plenary lectures that will be highly scientific in nature, 6 roundtable symposia that will present and debate controversial scientific issues, several hundred original oral abstract and poster presentations of new data, and late breakers that will consist of important preliminary research findings. New programming for the 11th CROI will include poster discussion groups and a Program Committee workshop for new investigators and trainees.
