“This was the kindest training I have ever done. Because it was not only technical. It was especially warm and human. I loved it. This is what our patients need: not just technical, but warmth and humanity.”
Gisele Borelli-Montigny, Munich, Germany
(Oxford training, July 2007)

HIVTRI announces 2009 Diary and launches HIVTRI Slide

HIVTRI ended our 2008 winter season by hosting a work meeting and a booth at Glasgow HIV 9, the Ninth International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection. HIV and Ageing was the subject of the work meeting. (An update from the meeting outlining next steps will be posted here shortly.)

At the booth we distributed the monograph from our first HIVTRI Science and Innovation Lectures and previewed HIVTRI Slide, our free online slide selection library which will enable users to create individualised presentations from a wide range of HIV and associated infection topics to learn from or teach about HIV-related subjects. The service will be free and independent. Over 200 people registered in the three days.

HIVTRI Slide formally launches in its limited version on World AIDS Day, 1st December 2008. That version is online now at www.hivtrislide.com. Registration is free and takes less than a minute. Please let us know our feedback.

2008 in review

The early days of any new project can be difficult; HIVTRI’s 2008 year was no exception. We underestimated our administrative needs and overestimated our capacity to produce. However, upon review, we are very pleased that our work is having surprisingly strong effects. HIVTRI exists to work with allies to develop successful responses to HIV and related conditions and we believe there’s good evidence that we are doing that.

We encourage you to review our 2008 work in Pune, Antwerp, Warsaw, Krakow, Istanbul and Skopje and Glasgow.

It was a year of firsts for HIVTRI. In Pune with Dr Sanjay Pujari we conducted our first intensive week-long training for HIV-treating doctors. In Warsaw HIVTRI secured funding for and hosted the founding meeting of the European HIV Nurses Network (EHNN) with representatives from 34 countries including almost every Eastern European country. Krakow launched our ongoing HIV and Ageing project to develop useful educational materials for ageing people living with HIV, their HIV doctors and specialists. In Istanbul HIVTRI hosted the largest meeting of Turkish HIV-treating doctors and patient advocates. The Skopje meeting was an intimate meeting, filled with active discussion and exchanges between South East European doctors and world-famous clinician/trainer/researchers focussed on optimizing HIV monitoring technologies in the region. Last but not least, our EACS Guidelines in Translation project translated the EACS Guidelines for the Clinical Management and Treatment of HIV Infected Adults in Europe into thirteen additional European languages. These translated guidelines have been used extensively throughout Europe and in conferences in Russia, Poland, Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, Romania and Mexico. In December, the French version will début at the ICASA conference in Dakar, Senegal.

HIVTRI is a small project with only 2 full-time staff positions and 2 part-time positions. We are effective because of the incredible support, participation and guidance we’ve received from our funders and our trainers. This is truly a community effort.

2009 will be more (and better) of the same. We welcome you to review our 2009 Diary. We also welcome your comments and participation. Please contact us at home@hivtri.com.
