3rd National Conference of AIDS Society of India

October 29-31, 2010

Hotel Hyderabad Marriott, Hyderabad/India

Sole focus: Optimal, Efficient and Comprehensive Clinical management of HIV/AIDS

India's unparalleled contribution in transforming HIV/AIDS to a chronic

manageable and affordable disease by virtue of its high-quality ARVs and

low-cost patient-care skills is lauded globally.

Free ART roll-out by the National AIDS Control Organisation all over India and

even second-line ART at select centres in matured HIV epidemic necessitates

review of strategies in care continuum. While the Government, medical

caregivers, Pharma and NGOs are all making intense efforts to enhance access to

care, ASI plays a pivotal role to strengthen its quality and implementation

through scientific updates.

In the series of these ongoing efforts the ASI will host its 3rd National

Conference – ASICON 2010 at Hyderabad. Renowned faculty of clinicians and

researchers across the globe will share state-of-the-art knowledge, their

insights, expertise and vision both in plenary and interactive sessions.

The deliberations will be useful in enhancing our capacity to offer quality HIV

care and help prioritizing researchable issues in India.

It will provide an opportunity to review, reflect upon and look forward to

emerging innovative approaches in care and will be a milestone offering

invaluable opportunity to learn, share and care.

After the successful ASICON 2009 in Jaipur, ASI already started with a chain of

CMEs in different parts of India and will continue to be a front-runner in

training health care providers. As per our promise to make it a truly national

annual event, ASICON 2010 will be a unique opportunity for scientific update and

a quality gathering of HIV care givers and researchers.

It is the only official national conference of ASI and will be once again, one

of the must attend HIV meets in India.

It is particularly fitting that the Conference will be held in the historic -

yet modern, vibrant - yet hospitable city of Hyderabad, well known as the HiTech

city after it has been the Information Technology capital of India!

We request you to be part of this important event.
