The European AIDS Clinical Society wishes to express dismay at the recent violent attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, and to extend our deepest sympathy to the victims’ families, friends, and colleagues.

We denounce the abhorrent act of violence and take a firm stand in favour of freedom of speech and the protection of human liberties, paying homage to all of those who fight and perish believing in the freedom of press and freedom in our society.

Dear EACS Members,

It is a great pleasure to, on the brink of the New Year, welcome you on this newly featured EACS website.

A short look back to 2014 shows that we were again very active as a Society in 2014; highlights to mention are the two summer courses, the 12^th Advanced HIV Course and the 4^th European Clinical Research Course (ECReCO), which were very actively attended by participants from all over the world, with a distinguished faculty enthusiastically teaching both clinical and scientific aspects of HIV.

The aim of the European HIV Testing Week is to encourage at risk individuals to get tested. A high number of people are still unaware that they are HIV positive. HIV testing would help diagnose the disease at an early stage and allow quick access to treatment. “Talk HIV. Test HIV.” is the focus of this week.
