WRI 2003 - Identifying Gaps and Controversies in Research on Women and HIV

Submitted on Sep 28, 2014

The 2003 Women and HIV Think Tank meeting was the first of its kind convened by The Well Project, an organization formed in 2001, dedicated to reducing the total human cost of the AIDS pandemic through a unique focus on women.

The Think Tank was designed to identify the gaps and controversies in research on women and HIV, develop research questions, and consolidate Pharma Advisory Board meetings without excluding industry from interaction and feedback. This goal was intentionally broad allowing the participants to determine what the needs are rather than imposing a specific focus on the group. The invitees and participants represented a diverse body of expertise ranging from microbiology to epidemiology and basic research to clinical management. All of the participants impact research (from funding to implementation) or manage women with HIV in a clinical setting, with a significant percentage doing both. Please scroll down for a list of 2003 participants.

The Well Project pledged to broadly disseminate this Think Tank Meeting Summary Report, actively seek interest in the list of research questions, and develop additional educational materials based on the findings of the first Women and HIV Think Tank meeting.
