Conference summary: novel HIV therapies--from discovery to clinical proof of concept.

In this report we have highlighted only a few examples of the extensive efforts underway to better understand the process of HIV pathogenesis, to develop new therapeutic agents to inhibit virus replication, and to identify strategies to restore damage done to the immune system during HIV disease progression. It is expected that progress in these areas will continue to advance, and that development of more effective therapies will lead to comprehensive multifaceted, multipronged treatment regimens.
