DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Globally, tens of millions of individuals are currently infected with HIV. Although a number of significant advances have been made to our understanding of the molecular and cellular biology of HIV, our understanding of the pathogenesis of AIDS remains less well understood. Despite numerous efforts, vaccination attempts have largely failed. Likewise, although therapy is highly effective, the mechanisms by which HIV becomes resistant to drugs are less clearly defined. For nineteen years the Palm Springs Symposium on HIV/AIDS has been one of the leading national meetings bringing together experts and young investigators to discuss research on HIV and on AIDS. The symposium offers evolving topics on an annual basis that cover pathogenesis, vaccines, and drug development. The topic for the 2013 symposium is "HIV Infection: Towards a Cure". The topics for 2014 and 2015 have not yet been determined. Twenty-two invited speakers have been identified and have accepted their invitations for the 2013 meeting. A similar number of speakers will be invited to subsequent meetings. Continuing this intimate meeting is important for the community of HIV/AIDS investigators to share data, to form collaborations, and to make progress on the elimination of AIDS as an illness.

描述（由申请人提供）：人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）是获得性免疫缺陷综合症（AIDS）的病原体。在全球范围内，目前有数千万人感染艾滋病毒。尽管我们对艾滋病毒分子和细胞生物学的理解已经取得了许多重大进展，但我们对艾滋病发病机制的了解仍然不够深入。尽管做出了许多努力，疫苗接种尝试基本上还是失败了。同样，尽管治疗非常有效，但艾滋病毒对药物产生耐药性的机制尚不清楚。十九年来，棕榈泉艾滋病毒/艾滋病研讨会一直是全国领先的会议之一，汇集了专家和年轻研究人员，讨论艾滋病毒和艾滋病的研究。该研讨会每年都会提供不断变化的主题，涵盖发病机制、疫苗和药物开发。 2013年研讨会的主题是“艾滋病毒感染：走向治愈”。 2014年和2015年的主题尚未确定。已确定 22 名受邀发言人并已接受 2013 年会议的邀请。 将邀请类似数量的发言人参加后续会议。继续举行这次亲密会议对于艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查人员共享数据、开展合作以及在消除艾滋病这一疾病方面取得进展非常重要。
