Abstracts of the 2016 International Symposium on HIV and Emerging Infectious Diseases (ISHEID)
Abstract
The main theme for this year's ISHEID is ‘fighting deadly viruses around the world’. New emerging, or re-emerging viruses threaten our health and, just as HIV appeared 30 years ago, these uncontrolled micro-organisms are also spreading worldwide. The most terrible recent example has been the Ebola epidemic. However, other viruses seen as ‘benign’ can also be a threat to our health and well-being, for example hepatitis E, coronaviruses and influenza. ISHEID remains centred on HIV and HCV but has also widened its scope to include new and emerging infections.The main theme for this year's ISHEID is ‘fighting deadly viruses around the world’.
