Email discussion: Delivering HIV treatment in developing

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmembers

I am forwarding a news item which appeared in id21 News.

Those who are interested can join.

" Have your say! Email discussion: Delivering HIV treatment in developing

countries 22nd April - 31st May, 2002

http://www.id21.org/hiv/

What are the most appropriate local health systems to deliver

antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in poor countries? Does direct observation

help patients to take their drugs regularly and prevent drug resistance?

Is this a feasible strategy for providing ARVs? What barriers prevent

access to treatment of other chronic diseases such as TB?

id21 Health's email discussion will provide a forum for a wide range of

stakeholders to share their views on these and other important issues.

Participants will include international and national policy-makers,

health professionals, NGOs and researchers from diverse academic

disciplines. The discussion report will be presented and discussed at

the International AIDS Conference in Barcelona, July 2002.
