Dear AIDS-India,

Re: /message/8895

There is a big difference with a doctor-patient relationship in USA and India.

In USA, especially with my doctor Dr Micheal Saag, it is like a bridge, where as

in India, it is a top down relationship with a doctor and patient.

Perhaps in India, doctors have not interacted with the level of patients who

learnt quickly, their own follies, and corrected them I am talking about

1981-1995 USA). They helped themselves.

Also people outside India, are not familiar with the count 'lakh', an

appropriate use would be 'hundred thousand'.

When they first discovered that I had AIDS in 1992 in New York city, the doctors

asked me to take a TB test. I told them since I had taken BCG as a child in

India, any TB skin test would turn out positive.

So I had to take the four drug therapy for TB for 12 months which was extended

to 18 months. They gave me the four drug therapy for drug resistant TB.

There is a significant postive relationship with TB and AIDS in developing

countries.

Thank you

Sincerely,

Priyadarshi Datta
