FIP launches pharmacists’ HIV/AIDS network

The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has launched an online HIV/AIDS network for pharmacists. It is intended to help pharmacists obtain resources on HIV/AIDS in order to serve their patients and the public better and to combat the discrimination and stigma related to the illness.

The network is in English and French and includes a discussion forum to facilitate communication between pharmacists working in the field. It will also be used to disseminate HIV/AIDS training modules being prepared jointly by FIP and the World Health Organization.

The network was launched during the World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, which took place this week in New Orleans, Louisiana.
