title: Treatment models from India: interview with Shashank Joshi, M.D. Interview by John S. James.
abstract: An HIV specialist in India describes an evolving standard of care, when only a few patients can afford the antiviral regimens common in richer countries. Dr. Joshi's approach include nutritional support for the immune system, intermittent HAART for some, herbal treatment, de-worming, and sometimes drugs to reduce intestinal inflammation and therefore possibly lower viral load.
