As the first International AIDS Conference to be held in Latin America, AIDS 2008 is an opportunity for Mexico and Latin America to showcase our accomplishments and learn from others," said AIDS 2008 Co-Chair Dr. Luis Soto-Ramirez, Head of the Molecular Virology Unit at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición and Coordinator of the Clinical Care Committee of CONASIDA. "We look forward to hosting AIDS 2008 and to working with our colleagues internationally to help address one of the most critical issues of our time."

The International AIDS Conference is the world's largest and most important HIV/AIDS forum. With over 20,000 participants -- including 2,500 journalists -- the conference is expected to increase awareness of the disease and its impact throughout the region. The conference will be held in Mexico City from 3-8 August 2008.

AIDS 2008 is convened by the International AIDS Society (IAS), the world's leading independent association of HIV professionals. Representatives from the IAS, local and international partners comprise the AIDS 2008 Conference Coordinating Committee, which is meeting from 19-20 March 2007 in Mexico City.
