Welcome to the November/December issue of HTB.

This issue brings an unexpected collection of reports from the usually sparce annual ICAAC meeting.

We have included as a supplement to this issue of HTB, the January 2009 edition of HIV Pregnancy and Women’s Health. As with all publications this is now available free for all clinics – please order online if you would like additional copies.

Also, within a week or so of receiving this, the latest issue of the electronic bulletin ARV4IDUs should also be posted to the i-Base site.

This has been an interesting year for i-Base. Please take a moment to read our appeal , and then hopefully take two minutes to help our project continue.

We know we have broad support from doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare workers, as well as HIV-positive people, and now we need to collect recent evidence of this.

Otherwise, best wishes for the holidays and for a happy 2009.
