Rules for Abstracts Submission

Your abstract must be submitted via the web-link www.hivcohorts.com and should be a maximum of 500 words; this does not include the title information or the characters within the field of the presenting author details.
The maximum number of abstracts each cohort or cohort collaboration can submit is SIX. The maximum number of abstracts that will be accepted, per cohort, is FOUR (resulting in a maximum of FOUR persons per cohort). Purely methodological abstracts (which might use data from a cohort, but only as an example) do not count as one of the six submissions for that cohort. The number of methodological abstracts which can be submitted by one person is TWO.
Since the outcome of abstracts submitted to CROI will be known at the time of the deadline for submission of this Workshop, abstracts which have been accepted to CROI 2011 are INELIGLIBLE for submission to the IWHOD Workshop. Any abstract accepted FOR CROI 2011 as a Late Breaker MUST BE WITHDRAWN from the IWHOD Workshop. PLEASE make sure to let the secretariat know of any abstract accepted by CROI AS SOON AS NOTIFIED.
 Abstracts must be submitted in the form of Word documents (.doc) – Font: Times New Roman 10.
  • The inclusion of figures/graphics will not be possible, however, tables will still be able to be submitted.
  • For all cohort-based abstracts, the cohort profile must be submitted alongside your abstract. If your cohort is submitting multiple abstracts, one author should be designated to submit the cohort profile (one cohort profile to be submitted per cohort). New cohort profiles may be uploaded directly on the website when submitting your abstract. Updated profiles of existing cohorts should be sent to the secretariat (iwhod-scsecretary@isped.u-bordeaux2.fr). Profile should be in the form of a text box, and a maximum of 2 pages, preferably in the format developed by the forum for Collaborative HIV Research and the IWHOD Scientific Committee (see http://www.hivforum.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=183&Itemid=92 or contact IWHOD secretariat).
