"The presentation made by Dr. Satish Amarnath was excellent and very informative. The most appreciable part of the presentation was where Dr. Satish Amarnath enlightened us on all the myths and misconceptions related HIV/AIDS. In an industry like ours, where most of the resources are young and in most cases single, this presentation really made a big impact of breaking all the myths and misconceptions associated with HIV/AIDS, and in spreading awareness on adopting preventive measures. Overall, it was a high impact presentation and fully appreciated by all of us.
