The Netherlands Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Epidemiology, Prevention and Treatment, NCHIV, is a scientifically focused meeting. The aim of the conference is to review and share knowledge on the current status and new developments in understanding HIV pathogenesis, vaccine research and treatment. In addition, the conference aims to be a discussion platform for changes in the HIV epidemic in the Netherlands and to provide input for HIV public health and health care policy issues from a research perspective.

NCHIV provides an update and platform for discussion of new insights and developments in research on the pathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention and treatment of HIV. The one-day programme has three key elements: a core programme of sessions focussed on each of these four research themes; an extended lunch programme with poster presentations; and four invited plenary speakers.
