“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 works with allies in the healthcare and patient communities, international agencies and the pharmaceutical
industry to build successful responses to HIV and related conditions. In collaboration with these allies we initiate and support
projects and trainings, supply locally relevant resources, and facilitate international innovation in the provision of care for
people living with HIV.
Or to put it less formally:
1. Do what they say isn’t useful – but you know is;
2. Do what crosses boundaries that are there – but needn’t be;
3. Do what they say won’t work – but you know almost certainly will.
HIVTRI maintains strong ties with its treatment information partner, HIV i-Base and our work is endorsed by EACS (the
European AIDS Clinical Society) and EATG (the European AIDS Treatment Group). >>MORE INFO

Recent Accomplishments 2009
HIV in South East Europe II: Working together for progress Istanbul, Turkey 6 - 8 May 2009
"South East Europe needs more positive Attention."
Aimed at harmonising and improving care and fostering scientific and healthcare interactions in the field of HIV
across this traditionally complex and varied region that has had scant attention from the international HIV community.
At this three day meeting delegations from each country/entity in the region – comprising patient advocates, nurses, doctors, government HIV commissioners and other key stakeholders – joined international HIV specialists and pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry representatives in forums to improve drug and diagnostic supply, support research, overcome stigma, promote treatment literacy for all and encourage the necessary structural changes to ensure successful responses to HIV in the region.

HIVTRI Talk
Launching in 2010 this social web-based network will allow interaction between individuals and groups across the spectrum of areas with whom HIVTRI have been working to ask questions, request information and help or just to keep in touch and discuss future projects and upcoming events
HIVTRI is a small project and 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.
We welcome you to review our 2010 Diary.
We also welcome your comments and participation. Please contact
us at home@hivtri.com.
