After the immensely successful first edition in October 2010, it is our great pleasure to announce the 2nd International Workshop on HIV & Aging, to be held at the Renaissance Baltimore Harbourplace Hotel, Baltimore, MD, USA, on 27-28 October 2011. With an aging HIV-infected population - and suggestions that HIV itself may cause conditions normally associated with aging - there is a pressing
need for more scientific dialog on this topic. This workshop presents a unique and most needed platform for international scientific exchange on the increasingly recognized problems of HIV and aging. The workshop will gather a cross-disciplinary team of experts and trainees involved in HIV and aging
research, in order to present and discuss the latest developments and strategies for the future, in an interactive and science - focused setting.
We invite you to attend the 2nd International Workshop on HIV & Aging and encourage you to submit abstracts on your research in this field. We hope to see you in Baltimore for an extraordinary event!
