From The Center for AIDS

December 2000

A note from TheBody.com: Since this article was written, the HIV pandemic has changed, as has our understanding of HIV/AIDS and its treatment. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!

October 12, 2000
The Lancaster Hotel
Houston, TX

Purpose

CFA Basic Science Workshops are scheduled annually for scientists involved in the study of HIV. The objectives of this workshop are to:

  1. feature the work of prominent national and local bench researchers investigating the basic science of HIV infection;

  2. promote a dialogue and collaboration between Texas-based bench researchers and scientists from other parts of the country; and

  3. identify the implications for HIV/AIDS activism from the work presented.
