"International Workshop on HIV & Hepatitis Virus Drug Resistance and Curative Strategies" held in Sitges, Spain, June 5-8

Sharon Lewin from Melbourne, Australia, gave a plenary lecture about the different possible strategies than can be tested to reach an HIV cure. There are actually two kinds of cure, either functional (HIV remains but is undetectable without antiretroviral therapy), or sterilizing (HIV no longer detectable and the patient becomes seronegative against HIV).
