This issue highlights another Traditional Chinese Medicine modality. Learning more about complementary treatments is vital as more HIV-positive people incorporate Eastern Medicine into their treatment routines. The Chinese Medicine article furthers our knowledge of Oriental Medicine, specifically on the practice of moxibustion.

This issue also reports on the publication of several articles highlighting the integration of nutrition therapy into the medical management of HIV. The Update Central column includes information on omega-3 fatty acids, the use of tea for diabetes and heart disease, and a clinical trial for long-term nonprogressors. WelChol, a commonly used antilipemic agent, and a long-term care facility in Newark, NJ are also highlighted. Leads to free resources and information for clinicians and clients are in the Resource Corner.

With this issue, we say farewell and best wishes to Laura McCavit, MS, RD, LD and Denise Li, MS. Both Laura and Denise now have new job responsibilities out of the field of HIV/AIDS. After five years as an Associate Editor, Denise recently received her MS degree and is studying to pass the exam to be a RD.

The Editorial Board welcomes Kelly Glynn, RD from Greenville, SC. Kelly is an HIV Nutrition Specialist at New Horizon Family Health Service and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.
