This annual workshop continues to retain its importanceas an important focus for researchand discussions between scientists, researchers, clinicians and patient advocates, and expert in a wide range of comorbidities from outside the HIV field.
The research covered by this annual workshop has gradually expanded beyond lipodystrophy to include complications relating to other metabolic changes, cardiovascular, renal and bone disease, hepatitis coinfection and cancer.
We include two overviewsfrom thisyears conference, both from long-standing researchers involved in the meeting -Jacqueline Capeau (from CDR Saint-Antoine, Inserm, Paris) and Michael Dubé (from University of Southern California). Both reports are based on articles from natap.org. We also include a summary of a community research project that highlights why the original focus of the meeting remains as important as ever.
