About the Event

Join this mini-symposium series on the latest advancements in HIV persistence. This event will feature seven distinguished speakers who will share their cutting-edge research and insights. Each talk will be followed by a brief Q&A where attendees can engage directly with the speakers.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has revolutionized the treatment of people with HIV and of viral infections in general. However, it does not represent a cure, as a reservoir of replication-competent proviruses remains and rebounds after ART is stopped. This symposium explores basic mechanisms of viral persistence, characteristics of the reservoir and its transcriptional activity, as well as novel methods of suppressing viral rebound and promoting a (functional) cure.
