Details
Learning Objectives: This session will cover both the advantages and weaknesses of the immune system in HIV. Presentations will explore immunological based prevention strategies that show promise for use in future vaccine strategies. In contrast, presentations will also cover HIV immunopathogenesis, where the immune system fails to control HIV
