Free ART Roll out by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), even second-line in our country with matured HIV-epidemic necessitates periodical review of strategies in care continuum. While the Govt., Pharma and NGOs are making intense efforts to enhance access to care, ASI feels dutybound to strengthen its quality implementation through scientific update. The deliberations will help enhance our capacity to offer quality HIV care and prioritize the research issues in India. It will provide an opportunity to review, reflect upon and look forward to emerging newer approaches in care and will thus be a milestone offering invaluable opportunity to learn, share and care.
