CAFE SCIENTIFIQUE - HIV: A QUEST FOR A CURE
November 15th at 7:00 pm
In 2007, Timothy Brown - a man living with HIV - received stem cell treatment for leukemia that "cured" his HIV. Five years later, he is still HIV free. His treatment can't be used with others but it raises a key question: is a cure for HIV possible?
All panellists, including Timothy Brown and many other researchers will be a part of the 2011 OTHN Research Conference, while the Caf� is looking to provide a more relaxed discussion about the possibility of a cure for HIV that is open to the community.
Join us! Be part of the discussion.
Space is limited, so please RSVP to Greg Mitchell.

PRE-REGISTRATION FOR TEA TIME AT OHTN CONFERENCE
For women living with HIV
Who wouldn't want to go to a fancy tea party in the middle of a big research conference? Tea Time will be fun, informative and totally different than any of the other OHTN events. There will be fine china, silverware and vintage tablecloths.
Tea Time: Building Communities of Women Living with HIV is an event that will introduce the idea of tea parties as a community-based research methodology. During this tea party Jessica Whitbread, a young WLHIV and budding researcher, will share her knowledge about creative ways to bridge the gaps between community building and research through this innovative methodology.
Jessica is also a Universities Without Walls (UWW) Fellow this year and they have recently done a Profile of her. Take a look and if her words inspire you to take part in the Tea Time at the conference, please make sure you RSVP.
