CINDI Conference 2006

CINDI Members have been working together for 10 years to address the needs of vulnerable children in the context of the HIV and AIDS epidemic in KwaZulu-Natal. Our 10 year anniversary conference was held in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa from the 3 - 7 April 2006. The Conference provided an opportunity for practitioners, policy makers and other concerned people to gather together and share ten years' experience of good practice and enter into discussions about the needs of children in the coming decade.

ARV Compliance - Walking the Talk at the CINDI Conference

**During the Halala! Conference a randomized sample of 100 delegates found packs of simulated ARV drugs (sugar coated candies) in their Conference Bags. These delegates were given the opportunity to volunteer and be part of a compliance trial exercise that took place for the duration of the Conference - the results of which will be published with the post-conference papers in the near future.
