22nd International Workshop on HIV and Hepatitis Observational Databases

Fuengirola, Spain, 22nd – 24th March 2018

Workshop’s mission

The International Workshop on HIV and Hepatitis Observational Databases (IWHOD) brings senior and junior HIV and hepatitis observational database researchers together to advance the methodology and analysis of observational data. No other workshop or conference devotes attention to the methodology of setting up and analyzing observational data, despite their importance in providing critical information on population outcome in real world settings outside the controlled setting of randomized trials. We are once again aiming to include attendees representing cohort studies from all regions. As in the past, we encourage discussion of work in progress, so all data presented will not be publicised outside of the Workshop Continue reading “22nd International Workshop on HIV and Hepatitis Observational Databases”

16th International Conference on Malignancies in HIV/AIDS

The NCI invites to join us at the 16th International Conference on Malignancies in HIV/AIDS (ICMH) previously named the International Conference on Malignancies  in AIDS and Other Acquired Immunodeficiencies (ICMAOI). The meeting will take place October 23-24, 2017, at the Lister Hill Center Auditorium on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

This meeting is presented by the Office of HIV and AIDS Malignancy, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Recent advances in areas such as viral oncology, immunology, genetics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, early diagnosis, and clinical investigation of malignant diseases associated with HIV and other acquired immunodeficiency states will be shared at this conference. Our objective is to facilitate the exchange of information between laboratory and clinical researchers so as to accelerate the translation of basic scientific discoveries into clinical applications.

Prevent HIV, test and treat all – WHO support for country impact Progress report 2016

World AIDS Day is 1st December each year, an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died.

This year, during the same week the WHO launched their 2016 global HIV progress report alongside their updated guidelines on HIV self-testing and partner notification.

Several IeDEA-WHO collaboration analyses from both the 2015 and 2016 rounds of this collaboration were cited in chapter three (Country action and WHO support) of this latest WHO progress report (see pages 28-30 & 38). Many thanks to the IeDEA teams for your continued commitment and support of this evolving and expanding collaboration with WHO.

IeDEA at AIDS 2016 – Durban, South Africa

IeDEA investigators had multiple abstract presentations and other invited talks throughout the pre-conference and main conference programs in July.

We were also invited to join the ALPHA network, the MeSH Consortium, and the HIV Modelling Consortium who hosted a booth in the Exhibition Hall where conference participants could learn more about how these collaborations are utilizing data to guide the global HIV response.
