5th International HIV and Hepatitis Coinfection workshop

Thanks to a wonderful turnout, the 5th International HIV and Hepatitis Co-infection Workshop was a great success! Held in the recently renovated Sheraton Lisboa Hotel and Towers, in Lisbon's city center, 189 delegates across 6 continents were in attendance (please refer to the participant list to the right of your screen).

The format of the workshop included presentations on state-of-the-art given by internationally recognized experts, controversy sessions on areas currently lacking consensus, abstract-driven presentations and educational patient profiles.To ensure the quality of the presentations, all abstracts were reviewed by the Organising and Scientific Committees.

We would like to express our appreciation to everyone who took the time to fill in the evaluation form at the end of the conference. Thanks to your feedback and suggestions, we hope to build upon last year's success.

Of course, the organization of this workshop could not have been possible without the valuable support of our sponsors. Special thanks goes out to Gilead, Roche, Pfizer - HIV/AIDS, Schering-Plough and MSD!

We hope to see you again at International HIV and Hepatitis Co-infection Workshop in Israel in 2010 and encourage you to submit abstracts on your research and clinical cases for another successful scientific program.
