WHY TWO SITES?

aids98.ch On 18 June, this site was replaced by aids98.ch, the Online News Service of the 12th World AIDS Conference. In addition to providing breaking stories as they happen, aids98.ch provides Delegates and Visitors with easy access to services specifically designed for the needs of persons attending the Conference.

For convenience, the current pages seen here--which provide in-depth information about programmes, staff, committees and other details more related to the building of the Conference Secretariat--remain available at all times, as the Pre- Conference Site.

Days to Go!

The Geneva 98 Conference is the world's leading forum for information on HIV/AIDS basic and clinical science, treatment and prevention, care-giving and education.

Presentations and discussions are organised into four tracks:

Track A -
Basic Science
Track B -
Clinical Science and Care
Track C -
Epidemiology, Prevention and Public Health
Track D -
Social and Behavioural Science

At world conferences such as Geneva 98, many sessions take place simultaneously. To help participants plan their daily programme more easily, a number of pathways are being designed which indicate issues that cut across the different tracks. These pathways will be created from the important issues emerging in the course of 1997-98.

The world AIDS conferences are more than important scientific gatherings - they provide meaningful opportunities for all affected by the epidemic to share information, learn, and contribute knowledge.

To reflect our commitment to providing a forum for everyone fighting HIV/AIDS, the 12th World AIDS Conference has adopted the "Geneva Principle". The Geneva Principle ensures, for the first time in the history of world AIDS conferences, that both scientific and HIV community representatives have equal say in the format and content of the Conference programme.

W
e hope that the 12th World AIDS Conference will help strengthen the linkages formed between and amongst science, the community, industry and government, and ensure a wide choice of sessions that appeal to all.
