Learn About the Campaign

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.

AeGiS

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.

 

AIDS Info BBS Database           

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.

 

 

About NMAC
The National Minority AIDS Council (NMAC), established in 1987, is the premier national organization dedicated to developing leadership within communities of color to address the challenges of HIV/AIDS

Our Mission

… turning hope into action

Project Inform has been at the frontlines in the fight against HIV/AIDS since 1985—when reliable information about the disease and its treatment was nearly impossible to obtain. Project Inform is a national, nonprofit, community-based organization working to end the AIDS epidemic. Our mission is to:

Inform people living with HIV, their caregivers, and their healthcare and service providers about the treatment and monitoring of HIV disease;

Advocate to facilitate research towards a cure and appropriate policies, legislation and funding for HIV research, treatment and care; and

Inspire people to make informed choices, take effective action in the fight against HIV and choose hope over despair.

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.

 

Policies/Programs

 

 
  
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.

They have an outstanding list of AIDS/HIV organizations!

 

 

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.

 

 

Advocating for a Strong National Response to HIV/AIDS
The Communities Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief (CAEAR) Coalition represents 420 grantees under Title I and Title III of the Ryan White CARE Act, including the 56 major metropolitan areas most adversely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as providers and consumers of CARE Act-funded services. The CAEAR Coalition also advocates for adequate funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) in Title II of the CARE Act. As a leading voice in Washington, DC, for HIV/AIDS care and treatment and for over a decade, the CAEAR Coalition has led the successful annual federal appropriation advocacy effort for CARE Act Title I and Title III.

 

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.

About The Quilt

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.

  • 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".
