Community Highlights Time flies … ! Three years ago, the AIDS Community started with a bang, the NACP-III e-Consultation. In three months, it brought in 800 responses, from 300 members. Since then, it has been an incredible journey, for together we have learned a lot and continue to learn new things with every passing day or perhaps it is more appropriate to say with every query! Until now, we have had more that 110 queries with around 2400 email exchanges. The membership has steadily crossed the four thousand mark. It has been a very rewarding experience for us and we hope it has been the same for you as well. It is our pleasure to see this web space for the members of AIDS Community. From the vibrant responses to the queries and the intense feedback we get from you, this team expects an encore for these pages. Thus, we see it improving with every input you provide.

In fact, almost all responses carry interesting information though I am not sure how effective they are if tried in our clinical practice. Researchers on alternate and traditional system of medicine need more technical data to substantiate their studies….”
