6th INTEREST Workshop
The mission of the INTEREST workshop is to function as a platform to discuss how recent insights in HIV may translate to new intervention strategies for areas with limited resources.
The organising committee consists of experts in antiretroviral therapy, public health, epidemiology, immunology and virology. The annual meeting brings together around 250 participants for a 3 1/2-day meeting comprising invited lectures, abstract driven oral and poster sessions and round table discussions.
The workshop size and atmosphere facilitate discussion and interactions between the participants. Five successful meetings have been convened since INTEREST’s inception, the first being held in Uganda, followed by Senegal, Zambia, Mozambique, and Tanzania.
Like its predecessors, the 5th INTEREST workshop in Tanzania in 2011 was extremely successful, attracting 227 participants from 5 continents. We like to invite you to participate in the 6th INTEREST meeting to be held in Mombasa, Kenya on
8 - 11 May 2012.
