“ViroXchange” — a new bilingual French and English media service, which receives funding from major pharmaceutical companies — “will provide ‘independent’ reporting on the latest medical breakthroughs for healthcare professionals.”

The digital service, unveiled at an annual HIV/AIDS conference held here in Montreal, will mainly produce online videos, said Guy-Charles Pelletier, CEO of the Neuhauz company and architect of the project. A team of reporters will cover the 10 major scientific conferences each year, interviewing specialists on camera about the latest studies and advances in HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C research, he said.
