Original written reports are being posted on several Web sites, including:

• http://hiv.medscape.com/
  (one-time registration required, but it's quick and free)
• http://www.hivandhepatitis.com
• http://www.natap.org

Also, you can find the official site through http://www.icaac.org -- select "Annual ICAAC," then select "Program and Abstracts online" for the 41st ICAAC (the 2001 conference). You will need to give your email address and choose a password to use this site. There is plenty of AIDS-related information; for example, a search for "HIV" in the abstract text returns almost 200 abstracts. You might need to create an "itinerary" to view the abstracts; if so, the software can be confusing.
