Fundaci6 Barcelona SIDA 2002
The Fundaci6 Barcelona SIDA 2002 (Barcelona AIDS 2002 Foundation) is a
non-profit foundation which was created with two aims: firstly to organize the XIV
International AIDS Conference in Barcelona O(July 7-12, 2002) and secondly to
encourage multi-disciplinary research to improve HIV/AIDS prevention, care and
treatment.
The organization of the XIV International AIDS Conference is being carried out
through the Conference Secretariat which was set up in Barcelona in October 2000.
After the Conference, the Foundation will continue with its other work of
implementing research projects to improve and extend intervention programs in the
biomedical and public health fields, both nationally and internationally. It has
particular interest in setting up projects in co-operation with Latin America, the
Caribbean and other Mediterranean countries.
The Fundaci6 Barcelona SIDA 2002 will enhance Spain's HIV/AIDS biomedical and
public health research agenda, facilitating the implementation of collaborative
studies among Spanish groups and agencies. More specifically, the Fundaci6 will
promote the participation of the Spanish scientific community in international
research aimed to improve the implementation of HIV/AIDS preventive care and
treatment programs in less developed countries and regions. The technical
experience of the Spanish scientists and their cultural links with agencies and
organizations of the Latin American and Caribbean region are of special interest.
The International AIDS Society
The International AIDS Society (IAS) represents the world's professional society for
scientists, healthcare and public health experts, and others engaged in HIV/AIDS
prevention, control and care.
The IAS has more than o,ooo members representing more than 130 countries.
The IAS has a large number of affiliated regional and national HIV/AIDS societies

The IAS is a worldwide organisation founded in 1988. It is politically and financially
independent and can speak freely as a voice of reason in AIDS controversies.
The IAS organises the series of multidisciplinary International AIDS Conferences
such as the one held in Durban, South Africa in 2000, the XIV International AIDS
Conference in Barcelona, and in Bangkok in 2004. The ist IAS Conference on HIV
Pathogenesis and Treatment in Buenos Aires represented a new initiative. The next
conference in this series will take place in Paris, July 13-17, 2003.
The IAS co-sponsors the conferences on Global Strategies for the Prevention of H IV
Transmission from Mother to Child, the Microbicide conferences, and several
regional AIDS conferences.
The IAS runs three major global programmes:
IAS Share is the not-for-profit educational programme of the IAS, focused on clinical
care and prevention of H IV infection, primarily directed towards developing countries
and countries in economic transition. E-mail: [email protected]
IAS-CTP is a clinical trials partnership initiative to establish a worldwide alliance of
key research groups to help design and monitor clinical trials in developing
countries with a view to identifying efficacious, safe, cost-effective and durable
strategies for the treatment and management of HIV-infected individuals in those
countries. E-mail: [email protected]
IAS-WHO Global Monitoring of HIV Drug Resistance This initiative is being
developed in collaboration with the World Health Organisation. Designed to face the
emerging problem of HIV drug resistance, this programme will collect and distribute
data on the circulation of drug-resistant HIV strains in treated and untreated
individuals, and make this data available as a resource for scientists and clinicians
worldwide.
IAS international headquarters are located in Stockholm, Sweden. The IAS
