Breaking Research From CROI 2007

How do you make heads or tails of an HIV medical conference with 1,000 presentations? Surely the 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections -- better known as CROI -- is a gold mine of critical studies on every facet of HIV, from prevention to treatment to quality of life. We've covered this conference extensively on our site, but for people with nonmedical backgrounds, this coverage may be difficult to put into context. That's why, for our March edition of "This Month in HIV," we've interviewed two experts who can break down the conference highlights for people who aren't experts. Physician and researcher Joel Gallant, and HIV-positive activist Nelson Vergel, tell us about the breaking research that really mattered at CROI this year.
