Abstract

Very little basic research on HIV-1 was conducted during the first decade of the AIDS epidemic in Brazil a period during which Brazilian scientists and government policy worked to address the immediate health problems created by the epidemic. The First Brazilian Symposium on Basic Research in HIV/AIDS was held in Angra dos Reis Rio de Janeiro during September 13-16 1995 to disseminate scientific information and enhance national and international collaboration in the interest of strengthening national research capabilities. Presentations were made on anti-HIV/AIDS vaccines gene therapy mucosal immunity immunopathology HIV neutralization cytotoxic T lymphocytes HIV-1 polymorphism disease progression markers and diagnosis and co-infections. Small biennial meetings will be held in the future.
