CBS Corporation and Viacom,
two of the largest media companies in the world, and
the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a leader in
health information and research, have created an
unprecedented media campaign to eradicate ignorance
about HIV/AIDS. The multi-year initiative
encompasses the creation and dissemination of
information about the HIV virus and its prevention
through television, radio, outdoor, online and print
media. |

The "magic bullet" to cure or prevent HIV infection has
not been found, and too many people with or affected by HIV/AIDS are
isolated by cultural, geographic, and economic barriers. In these
times, how must we fight AIDS and relieve the human suffering it
causes? We believe the answer will be found in the transformation of
information into knowledge. For that to happen, information must be
easily accessible and widely disseminated. It must be used.
AEGiS began in the mid-1980s and has continued to be
the definitive web-based reference for HIV/AIDS-related
information. The collaborative effort of many organizations and
individuals has enabled the creation of this vast database of facts
regarding the history, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS...to
date over 1 million files.
Through our keyword-searchable knowledgebase, AEGiS offers
cutting edge information via HIV/AIDS specific publications and news
sources from around the world. In addition, an array of reference
materials are offered. As new aspects of HIV/AIDS arise, AEGiS will
continue to extend its efforts towards the dissemination of
potentially life saving information. |

AIDSinfo is a U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) project providing information on HIV/AIDS
clinical trials and treatment. It is the result of merging two
previous DHHS projects: The AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service
(ACTIS) and the HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service (ATIS).
AIDSinfo is a central resource for current information on
federally and privately funded clinical trials for AIDS patients and
others infected with HIV. AIDS clinical trials evaluate experimental
drugs and other therapies for adults and children at all stages of
HIV infection -- from patients who are HIV positive with no symptoms
to those with various symptoms of AIDS.
As the main dissemination point for federally approved HIV
treatment and prevention guidelines, AIDSinfo provides information
about the current treatment regimens for HIV infection and
AIDS-related illnesses, including the prevention of HIV transmission
from occupational exposure and mother-to-child transmission during
pregnancy. |

Welcome to the oldest public AIDS information
database in the world -- online since 1985!

Here is a treasure house of information about
AIDS. It has been building since 1985, always selecting the best but
never accumulating the most. Unless you are extremely unusual, you
will find that much of your selection work has already been done for
you before you begin reading here.
On controversial points, this collection
presents both sides of the major issues, clearly labeled so you can
avoid them if desired.
Do not look here for conspiratorial theories.
Several of them (one ran to 200 pages) were kept, waiting for
acknowledgement of authorship and then pitched after a year or so,
when no one admitted having written them.
One special section is filled with articles
from a major newspaper (donated for non-commercial use), the Wall
Street Journal, 1984 to present, which gives a perspective to some
of the articles written by those closest to AIDS itself.
There is a library of over 19,300 comments by
callers, many of them PWA, about therapies, AIDS politics, and other
subjects.
There is an archive of statistics dating from
long, long ago. There are of course publications, some dating back
to their beginnings, like AIDS Treatment News (the first of them
all).
You will not find a great many government
publications, because callers have indicated a low opinion of their
value. However there are now exhaustive government databases
available elsewhere that should fill all such needs. But you will
find the latest definition of AIDS, and Surgeon General Koop's
historic, startling message to the entire U.S. nation.
A few of the now-enormous list of books on
AIDS, some AIDS plays, videos and other media events have been
reviewed, and some described without comment. |

HIV/AIDS Information
About HIV/AIDS Information from NLM
A comprehensive AIDS
information service is vital to enable people to combat the AIDS
epidemic. Scientists, physicians, educators, and other health
professionals need rapid access to the latest information on AIDS
research, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention. Consumers
require similar access to appropriate information for
decision-making about their behavioral choices and treatment.
Community-based organizations, clinics and other types of service
providers also need access to high quality, accurate and timely
information for their staff and clients. The
National Library of Medicine (NLM), the world's largest medical
library, has been developing AIDS information services since the
AIDS crisis began in 1980.

Wes & Tom's Cool Site - Featured in USA Today & The Advocate: We're a gay
male couple with AIDS. A fundamentalist aunt told Wes that Tom was
not invited to Wes' family reunion. Wes took it to the family and
challenged her right to exclude Tom. The whole family chimed in with
their opinions. The entire thing was written, since Wes lived in
Houston and the aunt was in Oregon. Here we share it with you. Be
proud of who you are, and live your life with dignity and honor. We
also have a memorial to friends who've died of AIDS. Plus we
regularly post charts of our immune system blood work! "Things From Wes' Nose"
chronicles his four sinus surgeries in five years, and gives some tips for fellow sinus
sufferers. |

AIDS Action
is a national organization dedicated to the
development, analysis, cultivation, and
encouragement of sound policies and programs
in response to the HIV epidemic. We do this
through the dissemination of information and
the building and use of advocacy on behalf
of all those living with and affected by
HIV. Our goal is simple. Until It’s
Over—until no one acquires HIV,
until those living with HIV have the care
and services they need, and until a cure is
found.
AIDS Action has been instrumental in the
development and implementation of major
public health policies to improve the
quality of life for the estimated 850,000 -
900,000 Americans who are HIV positive. AIDS
Action Council collaborates with the greater
public health community to enhance HIV
prevention programs and care and treatment
services; and to secure comprehensive
resources to address community needs until
the epidemic is over. |

HIV/AIDS
As
a part of its overall public health mission, CDC provides leadership
in helping control the HIV/AIDS epidemic by working with community,
state, national, and international partners in surveillance,
research, and prevention and evaluation activities. These activities
are critically important, because CDC estimates that over one
million Americans are living with HIV, and 24 to 27% of these people
are unaware of their HIV infection.
In
addition, the number of people living with AIDS is increasing, as
effective new drug therapies keep HIV-infected persons healthy
longer and dramatically reduce the death rate. CDC’s programs work
to improve treatment, care, and support for persons living with
HIV/AIDS and to build capacity and infrastructure to address the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States and around the world.

 Critical Path AIDS Project has developed a
community-based model for building an information infrastructure
that can be reproduced in other cities and countries, and used for a
wide range of purposes particularly appropriate to rapid
dissemination of AIDS information. We have demonstrated from April
1995 to the present that World Wide Web technology on the Internet
provides a cost-effective means of reaching otherwise hard-to-reach
populations and front-line AIDS service providers and AIDS
researchers worldwide. And provides them with an efficient means of
disseminating information community-wide, nation-wide or world-wide
that is updateable on a daily basis. |

HIV STOPS WITH ME
is a social marketing campaign which aims to reduce the
stigma associated with HIV and to acknowledge the
powerful role that people who are positive have in
ending the epidemic. The campaign celebrates the
contributions that are made every day by those most
affected by the disease and has spokesmodels from
Boston, Buffalo, Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York City,
Oregon, San Francisco, and Seattle. The
HIV STOPS WITH ME
campaign features HIV positive real people talking about
real issues. The campaign deals directly with sex and
condom use, while it also raises important themes like
responsibility, communication, and disclosure of status.
Each spokesmodel has a personalized message to deliver
to other people who are positive. The messages are
hopeful and supportive, and they also make people think
about what they are doing to stop this disease.

Founded in 1987, The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a poignant
memorial, a powerful tool for use in preventing new HIV
infections, and the largest ongoing community arts project
in the world.
Each
"block" (or section) of The AIDS Memorial Quilt measures
approximately twelve feet square, and a typical block
consists of eight individual three foot by six foot panels
sewn together. Virtually every one of the more than 40,000
colorful panels that make up the Quilt memorializes the life
of a person lost to AIDS.
As the epidemic continues claiming lives around the world
and here in the United States, the Quilt continues to grow
and to reach more communities with its messages of
remembrance, awareness and hope. |

Two
geographically and scientifically linked institutions in
Northern California have established the Northern California
Center for AIDS Research (NCCFAR) which benefits all of the
investigators and clinicians at the respective institutions,
as well as the patients living inside and outside that
region.
The
NCCFAR has put into place the appropriate infrastructure and
leadership needed to successfully compete for funding as a
full CFAR. The NCCFAR capitalizes on the complementary
strengths of the institutions, UC Davis and the Viral and
Rickettsial Disease Laboratory of the California Department
of Health Services (VRDL/CDHS), and fills the gaps needed to
develop a full CFAR.
The
overall aims of the NCCFAR are to concentrate efforts during
the first years of funding in three specific emphasis areas:
The first
is to study prevention strategies along with investigations
aimed at developing an effective HIV-1 vaccine. The second
is to gain a better understanding of disease pathogenesis
using investigations that span the basic, preclinical and
clinical arenas. The third is to translate knowledge gained
from the basic science and preclinical components of the
program into developing potential new treatment or
prevention modalities. |

We meet every individual where they are in their life's journey and
respect that we are all tightly connected by this common thread.

The AIDS Assistance
Program was founded in Palm
Springs, California in the Spring of 1991. At
that time a small group of concerned citizens,
led by the late Gloria Greene and Jeannette
Rockefeller, provided meals to members of the
community with low incomes and suffering with
HIV/AIDS. Since that time, the AIDS Assistance
Program's client rosters have grown from
approximately 20 to well over 470 persons and
their dependents.
The
AIDS Assistance Program is managed by a fourteen
member volunteer Board of Directors whose
primary purpose is to raise the funds the
organization and its food voucher program
require. This year's budgeted food voucher
expense is expected to exceed $500,000.

order to view the calendar you must be a registered Yahoo member.
If you are the "activities coordinator" or "CEO" of any bay area HIV
organizations we'd like to have you join, otherwise viewing our site
is a better option.
Our members are a conglomeration of HIV
organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area who list their
activities on this calendar.
The calendar is designed to help publicize members events and to
help avoid similar and overlapping HIV forums, fundraisers and other
HIV related activities.
We are not a static site, our members are
always adding new calendar listings every day.
Everyone is able to view the calendar and links
section. Many bay area HIV organizations have their website links
listed with descriptions and contact information. |

Established in 1985, the
STOP AIDS project works to
prevent HIV transmission among all gay and bisexual men in San
Francisco through multicultural, community-based organizing.
Internationally recognized as a successful model of grassroots
prevention and support, STOP AIDS brings diverse gay and bisexual
men together to talk about the challenges and issues posed by
HIV/AIDS through neighborhood outreach, workshops and community
forums.
Our work extends beyond education -- we help change behavior,
create personal commitment to safer sex, build community support for
each individual, and live these compelling beliefs: HIV transmission
can be prevented. |

Thriving in SF
-
WE ARE HIV+ and endeavor to be open about it and
realistic regarding its meaning in our daily lives - our
triumphs as well as our struggles.
-
WE ARE responsible beings that respect ourselves
and others and do nothing to harm one another.
-
We strive to be self-empowered and
self-actualizing, while remaining non-aligned and unsponsored by
traditional HIV/AIDS service groups.
-
We provide ourselves (and others living with
HIV) an opportunity to participate in meaningful activities to
"break patterns", to reduce marginalization, and to enrich the
mind, the body, and the spirit. (See Our Projects)
-
We encourage a safe and supportive environment
to provide a more broad-based discussion about HIV-related
issues.
-
We share and provide trust and encouragement,
friendship and brotherhood - in a diffuse organizational
structure - and "outside the box".
