International workshop on HIV Transmission 2018 - Meeting Prospectus4
NEEDS STATEMENT
Over the years, advances in HIV treatment have led to an enhanced understanding of the virus and improved care of HIV infected patients. However our insights into the spread of the HIV virus remain limited. A more extensive exchange of knowledge on the various aspects of HIV transmission provides important perspectives for a better approach to the epidemic. For this purpose, an integrated forum was set up in 2006 to reveal perspectives of experts from different fields enabling discussion on all relevant mechanisms of HIV transmission. The annual Transmission Workshops have since continued to prove themselves valuable to those specialized (or specializing) in HIV transmission.
The main objectives of this meeting are to provide a forum for basic scientists, clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists and public health officials to present and to discuss the various aspects of the transmission of HIV. The ultimate goal of the meeting is the integration of efforts from all relevant disciplines in order to constrain the spread of (drug-resistant) HIV.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience of this meeting consists of all those who are actively involved in or interested in HIV Transmissions such as Clinicians, Virologists, Epidemiologists, Public health officials, Industry representatives, Social workers, advocates and community workers, Other healthcare professionals involved in treating HIV an co-infected patients.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This will be a 2-day meeting consists of invited lectures and roundtable discussions. The meeting also includes abstract- driven presentations. In order to ascertain an interactive workshop there is time for discussion with ample time being allocated for Q&A.
Being an abstract driven meeting, it is an excellent platform for (young) investigators to present their research. To ensure the quality of the accepted abstracts, all submitted abstracts shall go through a peer-reviewed process conducted by the members of the Organizing and Scientific Committees.
MEETING OBJECTIVES
• International workshop for basic scientists, clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists and public health officials to present and discuss the various aspects of the transmission of HIV.
• Platform for the integration of efforts from all relevant disciplines in order to constrain the spread of (drug-resistant) HIV.
• Research discussion forum on various aspects of transmission from basic science (e.g. in vitro models) to clinical management of HIV (e.g. transmission chain analysis)
ACCREDITATION
This workshop will not be a CME accredited activity.

MEETING DESCRIPTION
LEARNING OUTCOMES & IMPACT
After attending this program participants will be able:
• Enhanced communication and collaboration between both junior- and senior-level, international researchers (from academia, government, and industry) and clinicians to promote the exchange of ideas, results, and technologies leading to successful translation into prevention of HIV/AIDS.
• Dissemination of knowledge and data exchanged by conference participants beyond the audience of the live event, thus maximizing the impact for the growing biology of HIV research community.
ASSESSMENT METHOD
To assess the meeting, Virology Education provides each delegate with a detailed feedback form where they can assess the speakers, whether or not the meeting objectives were met, their intent to change, the rationale behind their motivation to attend, the general logistics of the meeting, and much more.
All the questions are then fully analyzed and a comprehensive report is created and shared with the committee members. These reports help us better understand our delegates and how to make the next meeting better.
For a maximum response rate, we invite the chairs of each session to encourage the participants to take a few minutes and complete the feedback forms. We are also introducing a web-based application to allow participants access to the feedback forms electronically.

CONFERENCE PARTICIPATION GRANTS
The conference participation grants provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to attend a conference they would otherwise be unable to attend due to financial restrictions. All applications include a CV, a motivation letter, and potentially an abstract (requirements vary depending on the workshop). These are submitted via an independent CPG portal and are evaluated against the assessment criteria using robust, impartial and independent peer review processes by the Grant Review Committee. This process will ensure that only the highest quality, most relevant and most competitive research is accepted but that it is.
The grants are supported by the financial contributions allocated by the sponsor, who, has no control, influence, or involvement in the selection process of the attendees whatsoever. Priority is given to applicants who have actively participated in original research
or scientific work that is being presented at the meeting and/or those who will profit most from participating in order to improve their daily clinical management.
These grants help defray costs for registration, travel and accommodation for delegates and foster their ability to form valuable professional networks and develop vital collaborations. Conference participation grant applications will be solicited, selected and awarded by an expert Grant Review Committee.
Please note that the TITANIUM, PLATINUM and GOLD support levels will reduce the costs for conference participation grants. Supporters can indicate a desired number of CPGs to be granted in the response form further below.
ENDURING MATERIALSINFECTIOUS DISEASES ONLINEEnduring information presented at the conference will be freely retrievable and widely disseminated to reach thousands of virtual participants beyond the walls of the conference center. Infectious Diseases Online is a premier online platform offering scientific materials in special topical areas and proceedings of conferences. By accessing the website, visitors have full access to:
• Abstract Books
• Meeting Reports
• Workshop Presentations
• Webcasts
All the data on Infectious Diseases Online is organized by workshop and date, making the materials highly organized and easy to find. The meeting proceedings will also be published on the meeting website.
