Prof. Peter Reiss has been involved in HIV care and research since the start of the pandemic in 1981. Although his research currently largely focuses on the long-term complications of HIV and HIV treatment, and more particularly in relation to ageing (see https://www.aighd.org/project/agehiv/ ), he also participates in research concerning HIV cure, and research aimed towards zero new HIV infections in Amsterdam. Ultimately, his career has centred around improving understanding and management of the complications of HIV infection and the treatment of this infection.

 

He is currently Professor of Medicine (emeritus) at the Department of Global Health, Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and maintains an appointment as senior fellow at the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Pierre Louis Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health in Paris, France, the US NIH/NIAID HIV Vaccine Data and Safety Monitoring Board, and programme committee member of  CROI, the EACS Conference and HIV Glasgow. Professor Reiss is clinical HIV section editor for Antiviral Therapy. He currently (co-) supervises PhD students both in Amsterdam as well as in Thailand and Tanzania.

 

Professor Reiss served as the Director of the Netherlands HIV Monitoring Foundation until April 2021. He served as EACS President (2008-2012), on the Governing Council of IAS (2006 – 2014), and as co-chair of the 22nd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2018).
