Hi Gilbert, Thanks for the Info, which country are you from? I downloaded
the book from Fanta on Hand book on Developing and Applying National
Guidelines on Nutrition and HIV/AIDS. Very Useful.

Did you carry out any survey to find out how many know about the guidelines,or did you know this. Was there a national dissemination of the National Guidelines?.

Thanks.
