CONFERENCE REPORTS

14th Annual BHIVA Conference

23–25 April 2008, Belfast

---

Introduction

The annual BHIVA spring conference held this year in Dublin, has two main aims. In addition to presenting overview lectures on important aspects of HIV care and management - often given by international experts, it aims to encourage UK-based research and case studies by presenting research from junior doctors and researchers.

In the last issue of HTB we covered the latest BHIVA audit, current MRC studies and a range of other posters and presentations.

In this issue we continue with the following reports:

• Bone problems raised in several UK studies
• Late diagnosis in adolescence of vertically acquired HIV infection
• Case study of multi-drug resistant woman receiving newer antiretroviral drugs in pregnancy
• Predictors of treatment failure in Western Cape, South Africa
• Late pregnancy loss in HIV-positive women
• Renal tubular dysfunction with tenofovir-based HAART in four vertically infected adolescents
