The future of the International AIDS Society.

摘要

On July 18-23, the International AIDS Society (IAS) convened its biennial conference in Vienna, Austria. A notable absence at the meeting was the society's Executive Director, Robin Gorna, who less than a year after her appointment, and weeks before the Vienna AIDS 2010 conference, suddenly stepped down from her position giving no explanation because of a legal gag rule agreed by both parties. The IAS is the world's leading independent association of HIV professionals, with 14000 members from 190 countries working at all levels of the global response to AIDS.
