Despite effective antiretroviral therapy, HIV persists in long-term latent reservoirs, making the hope for a cure as pipe dreams.
In 2003, together with Professors Robert Gallo from Baltimore, USA, Roger Pomerantz from Philadelphia, USA and Mario Stevenson from Worcester, USA, Jose Gatell from Barcelona, Spain we launched the First Workshop on HIV Persistence, HIV Reservoirs and Eradication Strategies. This workshop was a blast and scientists actively discussed their findings and the ways research has to be done. The group was then actively joined by renowned scientists like Davis Margolis from Chapel Hill, USA, Andrea Savarino from Rome, Italy, Marie-Lise Gougeon from Paris, France…
Now, we are committed to understanding the mechanisms of HIV persistence in treated individuals and finding a ‘sterilizing cure’ or at least a ‘functional cure’ within the next decade.
The next workshop will be held December 6-11, 2011 in Saint Martin. Between 2 workshops, the group will join hands in order to boost research on these topics. In that way, we have recently launched a Web Portal to strengthen the link between worldwide researchers in the field. This website offers news, articles, discussions, and a ‘reservoir blog’.
Several meetings are now offering a session or lecture on ‘HIV Reservoirs and Eradication’ because it is trendy, but there is no doubt that the Saint Martin workshop stands out as the only workshop with cutting edge science. http://www.hiv-reservoir.net
