National Workshop to Share Learning and Views by INP+

Dear Forum,

“Positive Prevention” and “Second line ARV” are two important topics among

matters of serious concern for people living with HIV/AIDS in India today.

In an attempt to explore details and to gather evidence base information for

helping to design programmes and policies, INP+ with the support of DFID

challenge fund for HIV/AIDS has generated few materials on the topics. We would

like to share these key materials to NACO and other key stakeholders in a

National Dissemination Workshop to be held from 14-16 March 2007 At Heniz
