AIDS 2012 Conference Theme Announced
April 25, 2011 - The world leading AIDS experts will gather for the 2012 ISHEID conference
in Marseille, France, May 23-25, 2012. The general AIDS conference theme will be 'From Universal HIV Testing to HIV Cure'.
The ISHEID, for 'International Symposium on HIV & Emerging Infectious Diseases', is the biennial world leading conference
in the fields of HIV & Emerging Infectious Diseases. Organized by an independent group of recognized scientists, it is
a guarantee for scientific excellence. The ISHEID provides a tremendous opportunity for partnership and exchange.
The conference website, www.isheid.com, is now live.
The 2012 edition of the conference will tackle current issues on HIV research as well as financial and
capacity strains facing the heath care system. Despite major advances in diagnosis and treatment, 7000 new cases of HIV
infection still occur daily around the world. This is a proof that current prevention strategies are failing and that
new strategies have to be explored. On the other hand, access to care is in jeopardy, not only in developing
countries but also in the developed world due to the financial crisis. Thirty years after the beginning of
the epidemic, HIV infection and AIDS is, more than ever, an issue of access to care and human rights.
At a time when money is easily available to rescue banks and buy war weapons, HIV sufferers have
never felt alone as they are. Politicians around the world seem only driven by short-term results and pretense,
meaning that a revolution involving scientists and patients is mandatory.
The 2012 ISHEID meeting will address all these
issues for a world free of HIV AIDS.
