IAPAC
09 is primarily an abstract-driven
conference, which will feature 72 oral abstract
presentations (including late breakers) as
well as poster presentations. Abstract-driven
sessions will address issues in two tracks:
HIV Clinical Management (Track A) or HIV Prevention, Testing,
and Psychosocial Support (Track B). Abstract contents will be either research-based
data using established scientific methods or
demonstrate experience and information from
individuals or institutions working in the
field.
The non-abstract-driven
components of IAPAC 09 will address a variety
of current viewpoints and issues. These will
include a keynote address, the Jonathan Mann
Memorial Lecture, four (4) plenary presentations,
a panel discussion, six (6) interactive case-based
sessions, and satellite symposia.
The
target audience for this conference includes
physicians, pharmacists, physicians in
training, nurses, psychologists, social
workers, advocates, healthcare alliance
coordinators, and allied healthcare professionals
in the fields of HIV and AIDS.
- Recognize
state-of-the-art approaches to HIV clinical
management, including the strategic sequencing
of existing antiretroviral (ARV) drugs
and the potential advantages of ARV drugs
in development over existing ones
- Manage complications
related to or associated with ART, including
hepatic, renal, metabolic, and neurological
disorders
- Describe behavioral
and therapeutic strategies to maximize
the effectiveness of ART, including those
that will maximize ART durability, minimize
toxicities, and prevent ARV drug resistance
- Identify the incidence
and management of opportunistic infections
as well as co-infectious diseases commonly
associated with HIV disease, including
hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis
C virus (HCV) infections, as well as
tuberculosis (TB)
- Develop HIV prevention
and testing strategies and disperse education regarding
HIV prevention, testing and psychosocial support
interventions for various populations
of at-risk and HIV-infected individuals
