A one-hour telephone conference call, "Structured Treatment Interruptions & 'Drug Holidays' in HIV Infection" will allow callers to hear from leading experts and ask them questions; those who cannot join the call can hear a recording later, or read a transcript on the Web. This call was organized by HIVandHepatitis.com, and supported by an unrestricted educational grant from DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company.

Panelists on the call are:

• Mark Bowers, Education and Outreach Coordinator of HIVCare at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco;

• Steven G. Deeks, M.D., San Francisco Hospital AIDS Program;

• Franco Lori, M.D., Research Institute for Genetic Human Therapy (RIGHT); and

• Michael S. Saag, M.D. (moderator), Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Director of the AIDS Outpatient Clinic at UAB.

To join the call, you must register in advance (first names only). To register, call 1-800-880-5121, Monday - Friday, 9a.m. - 5p.m. Eastern time.

Also, anyone can hear a recording of the call later, no registration required -- but of course without the opportunity to ask questions of the experts. The recording (which should become available within 24 hours of the call) will be at 1-888-207-2647, pass code 6223.

In addition, an edited transcript should be available at www.HIVandHepatitis.com, starting approximately 10 days after the call.
