On Ranbaxy.

[Guest guest]

Dear readers,

With Reference to the issue raised by Dr. Sumit, I would like to

give you all this assurance that the annonimous posting of the

posting was done because " aidsindiatoday " is a group of Health care

proffessionals who want to work in the society with out being known to

the people, that way it makes people to understand the concepts very

easily and they think its one of their own ideas rather that some

thing told to them by some outsider.

Secondly as far as Ranbaxy is considered, I again would like to

clarify that the only relationship that we have with them is a very

professional one. We get most of crosschecking of our positive

results form them.

Here the issue is not whether Ranbaxy gave a correct report,or AIIMS

gave a wrong report, the issue is of policy systems not being in

place, issue is that people should be careful as to declaring some

body HIV negative, without doing confirmatory testings at appropriate

time and with consulting a HIV specialists. This colud be the worst cases it

could lead to spread of the Virus to the near & dear ones.

As far as the various tests are there all these test are very

important and we really dont need to be RAM BHAROSE,

However we all must understand that all these tests have their

own rloe at a specific time and connot replace eachother at any point

in time. It is the HIV specialists who has to decide which tests are

to ordered and it is again the HIV specialists who should really

interperat the results and their inplications in thier patients.

In case if any one wants to know the international guidelines for

laboratory proceduers and the implications of the various tests

results they can mail us at aidsindiatoday@

Thank you.
