AIDS 2010

AIDS 2010 abstract submissions

The XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010) welcomes the submission of abstracts for original contribution to the field in the following six programme tracks:

Track A: Basic Science
Track B: Clinical Sciences
Track C: Epidemiology and Prevention Sciences
Track D: Social and Behavioural Sciences
Track E: Economics, Operations Research, Care and Health Systems
Track F: Policy, Law, Human Rights and Political Science

Abstract submissions will be scored by an international panel of reviewers through a blind peer-review process and ultimately selected by members of the AIDS 2010 Scientific Programme and Track Committees.

Online submissions will be accepted until 10 February 2010.

Full information on the scope and objectives for each of the tracks is available on the AIDS 2010 website here.

AIDS 2010 Abstract Mentor Programme

The goal of the AIDS 2010 Abstract Mentor Programme is to provide an opportunity for young and/or less experienced abstract submitters to ask questions of more experienced abstract submitters. At AIDS 2008, online mentoring was shown to increase motivation and submission of abstracts by early-career researchers and those from low- and middle-income countries. The conference secretariat will facilitate the programme and match mentors with submitters.

The mentor programme is completely independent of the abstract review and selection process of the conference. It is an opportunity that will strengthen the quality of abstracts submitted, thereby increasing the chances of submitters having an abstract accepted for presentation. 

Full information regarding the Abstract Mentor Programme is available on the AIDS 2010 website here.
