More than 20,000 people from around the world logged on to webcast.aids2000.com during the first days of the XIII International AIDS Conference held last week in Durban, South Africa. The conference, the largest international HIV meeting, takes place once every two years and attracts more than 10,000 delegates who convene to share scientific, clinical and social data about HIV infection and AIDS.

Provided free of charge by the organizers of AIDS2000, webcast.aids2000.com helped to extend the important information exchanged at this scientific forum to an unlimited global audience. Twenty four hours a day, Webcast users can see and hear researchers present their data, access scientific abstracts and read daily summaries of key conference sessions.
