Re: Re: plz help me on AIDS


At a junior level , in Pakistan you are likely to find patients via personal contact in Pakistan , meaning you need to have somebody inform you of the presence of somebody with say Aids related pneumonia in some respiratory unit or with kaposi's sarcoma in dermatology ward or easier still from blood banks as there are no serious privacy laws in Pakistan .

After locating these , and with necessary precautions you can forexample study some drug effect etc .

Serious HIV research shall need a serious experienced team and it is for more senior levels in developed countries and need proper training .

Locally a publication can get someone a job .In pakistan there is one UNAIDS programme based in Islamabad .

All depends on if one wants to do research or just do HIV education job ?

Re: plz help me on AIDS

You can prepare exam by literature,but for research you need to go deep,as in other countries people are really working on different aspects of AIDS and HIV.Go to pubmed and type AIDSor HIV,you will get hundreds of articles.
I will recommend you to pass HEC test GRE anf do PhD in Europe or partially in Europe.

Re: Re: plz help me

well, its good you want to do research on AIDS, as it is also spreading in Pakistan. but first you have to define your work, on which area of this topic you want to work. either you want to do reseach on its prevalence in Pakistan. or you want to study at genomic level, i.e what are most common geneotypes in Pakistan or at proteomic level.i.e. what are different protein marker of the disease and who better we can diagnose it or at metabolimics of AIDS, i.e. what are different metabolites produce in AIDS patients.
other thing is what are the facilities available to you.
if you want to do some basic reseach on AIDS, then you can also discuss with me, i will try to guide you.
