The ELECTHIV Project which stands for the (European Level Evaluation of Complementary Techniques in HIV) the 5-year long European Commission (EC) Europe-wide project funded for £1 million, looking at which treatments people with HIV/AIDS are accessing throughout Europe, was presented at The International AIDS Conference in Barcelona, July 2002.

In representing the UK in this project, Positively Healthy (POSH) attracted the attention and interest of Dr. Xiang, head of the Traditional Medicines Division of The World Health Organisation (WHO) with whom we are currently exploring joint working with a view to investigating with full scientific rigour the use of Traditional Medicine from indigenous cultures globally.

On the right are the abstracts that were presented and were accepted as posters.
