Welcome to the Seventh International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy. Since our first workshop in 2003 in St Maarten, the issue of HIV persistence and reservoirs has become even more relevant, not only for the biologist but also for the clinician facing the problem of the long-term control of this persistent retroviral infection. This biennial workshop is widely recognised as the reference workshop on HIV reservoirs and eradication strategies. Our main objective is to keep it driven by science and new data. To this end, the abstracts have undergone a rigorous selection procedure by the Scientific Committee. This year, we will be spending much more time on new data rather than reviewing what is already known. Each session of the workshop will begin with an update given by an invited speaker followed by oral presentations of selected abstracts. There will be sufficient time to allow interactive discussions during each session and we encourage robust scientific discussion of the new data in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Lastly, we thank all the participants who have chosen to present their work here: the excellence of the abstracts we have received undoubtedly guarantees an interesting and thought-provoking workshop. We wish you all an enjoyable and fruitful workshop! Alain Lafeuillade MD On behalf of the Steering Committee
