The workshop programme will
follow the same successful format held at the University of the Western
Cape in 2008 and at the University of the Free State in 2009 and 2010
and will include presentations of anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment
programmes and clinical cases management in the developing world,
including South Africa, Botswana and Brazil. This year, we have
expanded to cover TB resistance.
The workshop is targeted at clinicians, clinical virologists, nurses,
medical students and researchers working in the public and private
sector who are currently involved in the treatment of patients with HIV
and TB in Southern Africa.
